 | I am a recovering alcoholic. My husband & I first saw this movie June 12/05 at a detox center in Alaska where our vacation was cut very short due to my nervous system shutting down, due to several years of alcohol abuse. This movie was used in one of our classes in rehabilitation. We were facinated. It told our story. The movie is for the struggling alcoholic & for the loved ones involved. Everyone one is affected by this most crippling disease. This movie is a must "tool" for anyone especially new to sobriety. I even still watch it when I feel a need to. It is very real & most excellent.
Thank You

| meg ryan and andy garcia deserve oscar's for their terrific performance on the silver screen. basically, andy is married to meg with kids. the plot evolves around andy's belittling of his wife because she is an alcoholic. was andy emotionally abusive? i didn't think so, at least not intentionally, but it's debatable i guess. in the end, they learn that loves conquers all and all is forgiven, thus making it a great love story. |

| and this isn't one of them. She's just too cutsy and clean not earthy enough. She's better off with lighter subject matter so she can show off her cutsy. I didn't believe for 1 second that she was a drunk. Besides why would anyone need a drink if they were married to super sexy Andy Garcia. I could think of better things to do with him. |
| Rating | | | Date | February 14, 2005 | | Summary | Good Movie. Bad DVD. | Content
| I looked through a bunch of the reviews posted here and none of the ones I saw mentioned the actual DVD itself. I agree, the movie is outstanding. I would give the movie a 5 rating. But the DVD is not worth even the low price tag! I give the DVD about a 2 rating. The video quality is horrible with lots of artifacting throughout. Come on Hollywood, we all know you can do better than this! I see the quality of this type of release the equivelent of releasing a movie on VHS is EP or SLP mode! Why sacrifice the quality if you don't have to? Maybe it's so a second, and perhaps third version of the film can be released on DVD in a "remastered" version over and over and over... Don't buy this disc. Just wait for a quality release to come out...complete with 5.1 audio. Consumers need to start demanding better or the studios will continue to trick us into buying the same movie over and over and over. |

| A beautiful family movie! It's good to see a family that sticks together even in difficult times. The father showed magnificent strength in the support of the mother during her struggle with substance abuse. |
