    4 out of 5 stars Fabulous Cast.......2005-08-10

    Alfre Woodard and Helen Shaver are terrific actresses and it's great to see them together.

    4 out of 5 stars Nice clean family movie.......2004-05-13

    This film was quite enjoyable. The beautiful Savannah locales were exquisite and the cast was wonderful. Makes you realize that there is no place like home.

    4 out of 5 stars Nice, Quiet Cable Movie.......2002-06-12

    Any movie with Alfre Woodard is worth watching. This Showtime
    movie starts out rather slow perhaps because it wants to show
    the laidback South. Woodard stars as a lawyer who returns home
    to attend her mother's funeral. This event changes her life
    forever. Blair Underwood is very good as "The Magic Man".
    Good family entertainment and it is nice to see that people in
    the South can be decent to one another.
