G'day from Sydney Australia😊 Thank You for sharing a dramatic and funny based on a true story movie. The late Olympia Dukakis always excels in her portrayal as a loving friend and mother as she was outstanding. The late Della Reese also portrayed a great supporting friend and housekeeper being close to the family. John Stamos played a successful lawyer who is charming and loving as a brother and son. His performance was sheer brilliance and a natural with his acting talents from serious to funny scenes. Kelly Rowan played a hardworking nurse who was independent and unsure if she would fall in love. No offense to Michael Whitfield as he was cast to be the younger brother to Tom which John.Stamos is younger than him but they portrayed being brothers convincingly. Estelle Getty, Liz Sheridan and Renee Taylor were fabulous being close friends to Helen. This film was enjoyable and it warmed my heart and had moral values to take notice. I'm impressed how this was a made for tv movie. Definitely worth watching as it's just under 90 minutes. Rating 9/10 Monday 20/6/2022
Great movie! Clean and family friendly. That John Stamos is a fantastic actor. Wow, those tender scenes with him and his mother look so real. So glad this was available to see on RUclips.
I love this movie everything ❤ abt it , it look so real, I agree also. I could not stop thinking of my mom , u see on July 1rst I buried mom .Although it was only a movie his facial expressions of pain for his lost looked so very real John Stamos is a great actor ,nd I m sure he's a wonderful, caring nd sensitive person in real life I just love his eyes nd smile.

Ever since Touched by an Angel I adore Della Reese, her talent for acting, music and for her love of God... This movie is yet another bliss from the past, and I wish that people like her could live forever... Rest in peace, dear soul 😇
@@grazynap.262tuff titty, huh!?!? Della was the real deal. She did the Oprah thing when Oprah must've been a newborn! 🥺😲😐😂🤣😂 And her voice was very beautiful in her prime. Della Reese was a true star thru out her life, like Gladys Knight or Cicely Tyson.

Yes, I agree. I first got acquainted with Olympia Dukakis's talent in Steel Magnolias which has a stellar cast including Olympia, as she shined bright in all her roles.
No matter how many times I watch this movie, it's beautiful each time. The cast is magnificent and all the ladies are class acts. Della Reese is superb. Olympia Dukakis, as always is a wonderful talent and Liz Sheridan and Estelle Getty, all add warmth, humor and a touch of reality to a delightful and charming story. Thank you for posting this.
What a wonderful movie with a terrific cast, especialy Olympia Dukakis, and my namesake, John Stamos. I went through some tuff emotions while watching the cancer treatments. It brought back thoughts of my dad and the hard times we had , dealing with his illness
Hej, Mr.Stamos Sorry for your lost!🌹 Yes, it was a really good movie! Such a great movie and how I cryed!. I have three brothers who past away. My mother and my two sisters have died of cancer. I got my first breast cancer in 2014, 3 months after my mother died. From the time my mother died, I had to take care of my father because he knew nothing. Mom had taken care of EVERYTHING. Eight children, work, everything in the home ..! She was 152cm/50Kg but what a great woman!! I miss her soooo much!! I got breast cancer back on allmost same place in September 2021. This time it has settled in the skeleton. I still take care of my dad who is now 97+ years old and also demented with delusions. Every day is a struggle but I usually watch a movie or a series before I go to bed. This movie was really good. Romantic but with a serious undertone. You were really good in that movie Mr. Stamos. Thank you🌹 from Pia Kragh in Sweden / Gothenburg
Olympia Dukakis won an academy award for another film, and she should get an academy award for this film. She is a super star. John Stamos, likewise, is outstanding in this film as is Della Reese. I remember when my mother was dying. My sisters and I were were overwhelmed. We held hands around her hospital bed and prayed over her. She died peacefully. It's so difficult to lose a parent.
Olympia Dukakis as the Mother as usual was brilliant. Tears just flowed with memories of my Mom. Beautiful sense of humour to the end. Lovely Movie lots of truth.
Such an emotional movie I lost my mother the same medical condition Breast cancer spread to the liver She died in 3 weeks after being diagnosed with liver cancer It’s been 20 years and I think about her every day . It’s been the hardest thing in life to say goodbye to your mother I definitely believe in life after death but it frightens me because it’s the unknown. I had her guide me for two years after her passing. It was like she was holding my hand and was there to protect me . One day I remember very well I didn’t feel her hand holding me anymore and I was alone. I had my two beautiful dogs that loved me unconditionally and me them Unfortunately I lost one after 8 years and the other became 15 years It broke my heart completely and it’s never healed again I believe when Jesus wants me in heaven I will be reunited with my mother and my dogs and that’s my only wish while living on earth. My dogs and my mother appear in my dreams and it’s a very fulfilling feeling . I think life is a tuff but a experience to learn and grow and I definitely went through my fair share off losing loved ones. I the name off Jesus God bless all animals and people on this planet 🌎
Blessings to you. I hope you have a new puppy or kitty, hamster, monkey any fur baby because they are so important for us humans! When we are missing our human companions there is nothing else that can help more than a soft purring kitty or a silly puppy licking the tears off your pretty face. Life is tough - but we are too. Love yourself, your humans and your furbabies. Love will keep us together. Remember you are loved!❤❤❤❤❤
They don't make movies like this anymore. It was an absolute delight to watch. Olympia Dukakis and Della Reese were simply amazing in this movie. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
Its great to pick up a picture that wasn't a block buster and which frequently are actually boring. This was lovely and I'm pleased it is getting an airing.
I was not expecting to cry watching this, but as soon as the mom tells him, “I can’t take care of you anymore” ooooof I lost it😭. And then the ending with the piano, 🥹🥲. Sweet movie💜💜 Every time he kissed the girl, I was waiting for him to say, “have mercy”😉
I accidentally stumbled upon this movie and I am so happy I did. What a beautiful little movie. Amazing acting by everyone, the characters were great, the storyline was wonderful and it was just a really nice feel good movie with beautiful scenery, even if it did have sad undertones.
a beautiful story from every angle. the script was very real, funny and light. acting was very good. loved all these actors of old. thank you for this gem.
Crying my heart out seeing this movie reminds me the moment how my mum and dad before they passed away was really hard to leave me alone esp my mum knowing that I'm unmarried but when she told me about it I strongly held back my tears told her that I'll be fine then in few days she waited til I went to work and she passed😭😭😭I really miss my mum these days😭😭😭may she continue to rest in God's peace🥰🙏🙏
So sad, it's been almost five years now I lost my mum to cancer and I miss her so much 😭 but I know she's happy with her maker May she continue to rest peacefully
I have never seen a so-so movie with any of these stars. Della Reese is always so right for her roles. As is Olympia and the others. Really enjoyed this.
Olympia is always pass good in movies . She makes you laugh, and sometimes cry. She and Della Reese pair God together. This movie was fantastic. Thank you.
My biological mother abandoned me as a toddler, after abusing me. So… no. Not all mothers have this kind of care and love for their child as this mother. Sadly, it’s true.
We can all remember what we were doing in 1997, I have lost count how many times I've seen this film,everything is just as a film should be,that is put together in that era. Funny even now,iconic. Thank you for posting this.😂
Really a good movie. The mother didn’t act,she lived the role and Tom ….God! He too acted so well and he is so good looking! I cried and cried..I wish Helen lived to see the marriage!
I throughly enjoyed this movie! The best cast! Della Reese was just amazing has his second mother and I always love a happily ever after! Love always conquers all!
Great story about family and how a mother can worry about her son finding the right woman to finally marry. The mother was a strong determined woman, the rock of the family, who everyone loved. Can she succeed in matching up the best mate for her son? Enjoy.
Loved this movie. It reminded me of my mom who for same reason as Helen, prayed to prolong her life for my sake, being the only unmarried sibling... Also died of cancer.
I’m having a bad day and I rely on RUclips to help relax my anxiety when I’m in a lot of pain like I typically am. Stumbled across this like others did and it’s a feel good movie that hit the spot, thank u 🙏🏽 greetings from Southern California 🙏🏽
Omg me and my mom just watched this we haven't seen a movie in ages 😭 thank you so much she loved it and so did I such a beautiful lovely movie. Reminded me of the old days when me and my mom were closer and watched movies together its nice to bond again and reminisce. I love you mom. I will appreciate everyday we have together and i know you didn't have the easiest life but I promise the future will be better Ill make sure of it xx and we will have fun like old times whether we travel or just spend time together
what a sweet movie; heartfelt genuine performance from all. Wise words from brother and housekeeper friend that the mother was preventing his relationships since he 'already had a wife' . A common issue not often addressed. Thanks for the upload
Miss these kinds of movies….the new generation and future generations need to watch these k8nds of movies….to bring back family values that are lost now a days….

Great movie. I miss watching these sorts of old movies. They were so wholesome but really understood human emotion. Now days the movies are absolute rubbish.
I cried my eyes out,,I hoped to see my handsome grandson married and have a family before I passed but he left this earth before me😭3 wks ago..I know how that mom felt❤😭

My goodness, John Stamos looks excactly like my grandson Mikael...when my grandson was 16 🤣...and in this role he acts like him too. I got to show him this movie. I said the words above only 10 minutes into the movie. Now Ima wreck in tears. This movie was so everything from funny to heartbreaking. They dont do movies like that anymore.
I was going through the recommendations to find something to fit my mood aftyer severs this morning. I saw the title of this movie and thought,...perfect! Then I saw it has Della Reese and Olympia Dukakis and I knew it was going to be good and sure enough, it was just what I needed for this Sunday Rainy afternoon in Seattle. And a bonus, based on a true story,...my favorite, Thank you very much for this!!!
What a beautiful movie! So much depth, love, understanding portrayed by all the characters. More movies should represent the unconditional love shown in this movie.
This movie reminds me of the relationship I have with my mother. She is 96 and the idea of losing her brings me much sorrow. How do you cope with the loss of your mom? I did it with my dad and it was extremely difficult. But, as the youngest sibling of four, it's much harder to let a parent go. I've been trying all year to mentally prepare for this event. I know this sounds strange when she is still alive. But, I get a feeling that I don't have much more time with her. This woman has been my rock for 58 years and helped me through so many health issues. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to cope. Does anyone out there feel the same way as I do? I need to find a way to handle these feelings without falling apart. Because I know there is going to be a phone call with the news of her passing in the future, and I don't want to lose my sanity over it. 😢💔
I do understand your feelings about losing your mom. My mom was an angel on earth. When we lost her to cancer it was no less than devastating . I also lost three children, 2 of them 2 weeks apart. Key to dealing with all those losses is the beautiful relationship I had with each ,while they were here. If it wasn't for that, I would be grief ridden and broken. Your mom will always be with you ..always
@@michelleaw1325 thank you for saying these words of wisdom. I'll remember that. I'm truly sorry for your losses. It must have been very difficult for you. I do rely upon my faith in God to help me through the ups and downs of life. Thank you for showing me kindness. It has helped me greatly. God Bless You. 🙏⛪️💕
@@mumin8859 thank you. I do pray regularly for the stength to handle the sadness that comes from losing a parent. I'm trying to enjoy the time I have with her and be thankful that God has given me a mom who is still with me. The hard part is that my three other siblings are not that loving or care much about me. This is why I think I'm feeling that there will be a void when she passes away eventually. I will truly be an orphan. It's so painful to lose a parent. The loss really never goes away. My hope is that I will see her and my dad in heaven one day. Thank you for the kind words of support. Much blessing to you. 🙏⛪️💞🕊
I see your comment was a year ago. Am unsure if your mom is still with you. My mom was 83 when she died and I know you're just never ready to say goodbye to your mom. I am so thankful for the many years I had with her .I think of my childhood beat friend who lost her mom at the age of 10. To this day she feels that loss so keenly and the years of growing up without her. They gave us life and the love between mom and child never dies. I've heard it said that after many years you do not recall the face of a loved one clearly. I still see my mamas face as if she were before me and her voice is clear in my memory. Love never dies.
Perfect movie for a cold, foggy winter day on a Sunday in North Dakota. Staying in my pj's all day, eating popcorn and giving myself a facial! John Stamos. I sure hope he is a nice guy as well, as he would be any parent's dream match for their daughter!
The red rose is slowly released from her tight grasp and falls out of her lifeless hand as she leaves us all behind. Great movie and great cast. Thank you❤
We do not need more mother's like her! These two would have had a horrible marriage! Oposites attract but they DO NOT make good marriages. They make each other miserable!
@Magda Rejnert. My guess is your mother was this narcissistic one here. Mine was pretty awful as well. My Grandmother, however, was my hero and more than made up for it. You could have simply said nothing instead of a bash of a perfectly nice comment from a person who obviously did not have your experience. There ARE good mothers too!
@@jensherman2771 My mother was not narcissistic, she was a nice woman and not a bad mother. And this is not a "perfectly nice comment" at all, it's condescending and gaslighting for lots of people's experience. And simply not true.
@@magdarejnert4144 you are correct. I find most people's comments on RUclips Just way over the top like they're either getting paid or just trying to see how many likes they can get by placating this that or the other thing.
I came upon this movie when looking for a Susan Hayward movie. I don't know why this one was among them on the list. It is a marvelous movie. I love Olympia Dukakis; she never disappoints.
Perhaps you can help me as I cannot remember the name of the piece Olympia kept playing on the piano. So familiar, I used to play it, but the name just eludes me. thank you....
Holy moly what a cast! So many TV show stars from the 80s & 90s such as Della Reese from Touched By An Angel, Renee Taylor from The Nanny, John Stamos from Full House, Estelle Getty from The Golden Girls and of course, the late Olympia Dukakis! Really enjoyed this one!
G'day from Sydney Australia😊
Thank You for sharing a dramatic and funny based on a true story movie.
The late Olympia Dukakis always excels in her portrayal as a loving friend and mother as she was outstanding. The late Della Reese also portrayed a great supporting friend and housekeeper being close to the family. John Stamos played a successful lawyer who is charming and loving as a brother and son. His performance was sheer brilliance and a natural with his acting talents from serious to funny scenes. Kelly Rowan played a hardworking nurse who was independent and unsure if she would fall in love. No offense to
Michael Whitfield as he was cast to be the younger brother to Tom which
John.Stamos is younger than him but they portrayed being brothers convincingly. Estelle Getty, Liz Sheridan and Renee Taylor were fabulous being close friends to Helen. This film was enjoyable and it warmed my heart and had moral values to take notice.
I'm impressed how this was a made for tv movie. Definitely worth watching as it's just under 90 minutes.

yes, it is very difficult indeed, they captured all the emotions perfectly.
Yes I agree with you 😢
Her line of "I'm a nurse Tom, nobody looks after me" really got me. Pretty much encapsulated my social and love life too.
Probably a lot of us nurses identify with that.
Trying to work on that myself
Can I ask what type nurse
COULD mean that her salary as a nurse is sufficient, sooooo no one has to look after her.
Not fair on you beautiful wonderful nurses ❤❤

John Stamos is that rare actor that a camera can hold his face while he lets us see the emotions that he is feeling.
Olympia is always pass good in movies . She makes you laugh, and sometimes cry. She and Della Reese pair God together. This movie was fantastic. Thank you.
This is indeed Match Made In Heaven. This world needs more mom like this woman. She helped her son to find real LOVE and the nurse to find love.💕💕🥰😀
Aww.... it made me cry, for all the right reasons! The main actors were wonderful, so happy I found this, thank you very much.
The end made me cry sometimes a parent can see so much more in their child than even the grown child does

Yes I agree enjoy all her movies

what a sweet movie; heartfelt genuine performance from all. Wise words from brother and housekeeper friend that the mother was preventing his relationships since he 'already had a wife' . A common issue not often addressed. Thanks for the upload
Miss these kinds of movies….the new generation and future generations need to watch these k8nds of movies….to bring back family values that are lost now a days….
I don't know if this movie was considered to be a B' class movie but Olympia surely deserved an Oscar!!!!
Fantastic movie! Saw it on tv 20 years ago. Looked for it everywhere. Can’t believe I found it on RUclips.

I know!!
Great movie. I miss watching these sorts of old movies. They were so wholesome but really understood human emotion. Now days the movies are absolute rubbish.
An absolutely wonderful movie. Great story, great acting with a cast that just makes it so real.
I cried my eyes out,,I hoped to see my handsome grandson married and have a family before I passed but he left this earth before me😭3 wks ago..I know how that mom felt❤😭
I'm so sorry ♥️
So, so sorry to hear that, Ms. Hinds. Please try to take care of yourself. ❤
I am so sorry too. You grandson is living in your heart for ever.
I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine life without my grandson. I will keep you in my prayers.
❤
I just love Janes eyes and her smile, Kelly is such a beauty. Good acting, nice humour just coming and coming, nothing one does not want to see ...
Oh, this was absolutely delightful! Thanks for posting!
Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. All the characters were great

What a delightful movie!!! Olympia Dukakis was a wonderful actress and she and Della Reese were a hoot!!!
My goodness, John Stamos looks excactly like my grandson Mikael...when my grandson was 16 🤣...and in this role he acts like him too. I got to show him this movie.
I said the words above only 10 minutes into the movie. Now Ima wreck in tears. This movie was so everything from funny to heartbreaking. They dont do movies like that anymore.
Your grandson must be very handsome 😊
@@addicted367 Thank you. He truly is. And when I showed him a picture of the actor, he was shocked, almost scared to see himself who was not himself🤣
Lucky guy!
love this movie, what a wonderful story. No swearing. Bring back more movies like this.
Beautiful acting!!!
Omg that hair updo was so popular in the 90s. God I loved that decade 😢
BRAVO,,,,, Thank YOU Rare Films for the great upload .... 6/5/2022 ~~~
Excellent movie! Just what I needed! Light, funny and romantic! God bless you for posting!
I loved this movie and realised from the comments that so many of us were watching it at the same time!
Not done watching yet but what a fun movie!! Fast talking, witty, excellent acting...First time watching Olympia; What an actress!!
Lol im 23 and i love these old films 😂 i saw uncle jesse on the thumbnail and decided to give the movie a try 😊
Della Reese and Olympia Dukakis fit so well together. I love them both! Such great actresses.
Good acting, script. Real life feelings of love and loss beautifully displayed. Two thumbs up.
I was going through the recommendations to find something to fit my mood aftyer severs this morning. I saw the title of this movie and thought,...perfect! Then I saw it has Della Reese and Olympia Dukakis and I knew it was going to be good and sure enough, it was just what I needed for this Sunday Rainy afternoon in Seattle.
And a bonus, based on a true story,...my favorite, Thank you very much for this!!!
oops, typo's..., should have said:
"After Services" this morning. ^_~
is this movie based on true story?
A rainy day in Seattle here. 😂
John Stamos looks exactly like he did 20 years ago… Greek genes…
🤔 Italian genes
@@corazonduo2016 Greek
I think it s the Mediterranean diet Too. If he ate the SAD diet he would be looking a bit worse for wear
The movie was made 25 years ago
This was 25 years ago
A film not to be missed- great stars- Gorgeous Olympia Dukakis, amazing Della Reece, handsome John Stamos and others
I enjoyed every moment🙏🏻🙂
What a beautiful movie! So much depth, love, understanding portrayed by all the characters. More movies should represent the unconditional love shown in this movie.
never thought I'd see Jerry's mother, Fran's mother, and Dorothy's mother together at the same table 😁
😜
Wow..what a sweet story.. his mother identified the true heart and really couple made in heaven..
You don't have any children don't tell me how to raise mine
Just soooo heartfelt from one mama with a son and mama gone - thx for these two Greek legends😇🙏🏼🥰👍🏼
Thank you for posting this movie! Quality time thanks to you, although I had to cry!!!
Olympia Dukakis was an amazing actress and Dells is a icon ❤❤
Tom was smothered by his mama.
He didn’t want to be responsible for a wife.
This movie reminds me of the relationship I have with my mother. She is 96 and the idea of losing her brings me much sorrow. How do you cope with the loss of your mom? I did it with my dad and it was extremely difficult. But, as the youngest sibling of four, it's much harder to let a parent go. I've been trying all year to mentally prepare for this event. I know this sounds strange when she is still alive. But, I get a feeling that I don't have much more time with her. This woman has been my rock for 58 years and helped me through so many health issues. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to cope.
Does anyone out there feel the same way as I do? I need to find a way to handle these feelings without falling apart. Because I know there is going to be a phone call with the news of her passing in the future, and I don't want to lose my sanity over it. 😢💔
Pray to God Almighty. He will give you all the help you need, You will be reunited one day.
I do understand your feelings about losing your mom. My mom was an angel on earth. When we lost her to cancer it was no less than devastating . I also lost three children, 2 of them 2 weeks apart. Key to dealing with all those losses is the beautiful relationship I had with each ,while they were here. If it wasn't for that, I would be grief ridden and broken. Your mom will always be with you ..always
@@michelleaw1325 thank you for saying these words of wisdom. I'll remember that. I'm truly sorry for your losses. It must have been very difficult for you. I do rely upon my faith in God to help me through the ups and downs of life.
Thank you for showing me kindness. It has helped me greatly. God Bless You. 🙏⛪️💕
@@mumin8859 thank you. I do pray regularly for the stength to handle the sadness that comes from losing a parent. I'm trying to enjoy the time I have with her and be thankful that God has given me a mom who is still with me. The hard part is that my three other siblings are not that loving or care much about me. This is why I think I'm feeling that there will be a void when she passes away eventually. I will truly be an orphan. It's so painful to lose a parent. The loss really never goes away. My hope is that I will see her and my dad in heaven one day. Thank you for the kind words of support. Much blessing to you. 🙏⛪️💞🕊
I see your comment was a year ago. Am unsure if your mom is still with you. My mom was 83 when she died and I know you're just never ready to say goodbye to your mom.
I am so thankful for the many years I had with her .I think of my childhood beat friend who lost her mom at the age of 10. To this day she feels that loss so keenly and the years of growing up without her.
They gave us life and the love between mom and child never dies.
I've heard it said that after many years you do not recall the face of a loved one clearly.
I still see my mamas face as if she were before me and her voice is clear in my memory.
Love never dies.
Mother’s wish full filled! They were meant to be together, beautiful cast, great actors…
The ending was so sad I couldn't stop crying she did not live to see her son get married heartfelt movie thank you for sharing 💕 ❤️
Well, I guess now I don't need to see the movie. You gave out the ending. LOL
OK Mother knows Best! Lovely film. Olympia Dukakis was always great. RIP.
Made me cry seeing the ninety’s again … miss the old world
Perfect movie for a cold, foggy winter day on a Sunday in North Dakota. Staying in my pj's all day, eating popcorn and giving myself a facial! John Stamos. I sure hope he is a nice guy as well, as he would be any parent's dream match for their daughter!
I loved this movie. There's been at least a decade they haven't made such good quality films.
It made me laugh and cry as well. What a wonderful movie!
The red rose is slowly released from her tight grasp and falls out of her lifeless hand as she leaves us all behind. Great movie and great cast. Thank you❤
What a lovely movie. We need more mother's like her. Awesome cast.
I'm like her
It hit home, read that book to my son again and again since he asked me to read it over and over ....he's 32 now...
*mothers
We do not need more mother's like her! These two would have had a horrible marriage! Oposites attract but they DO NOT make good marriages. They make each other miserable!
Great movie. No one can replace mother's love. Even when she is not around her heart beats for her children.
Nonsense. There are plenty of narcisistic, psychotic or simply cruel mothers, who doesn't give a damn about their children.
@Magda Rejnert. My guess is your mother was this narcissistic one here. Mine was pretty awful as well. My Grandmother, however, was my hero and more than made up for it. You could have simply said nothing instead of a bash of a perfectly nice comment from a person who obviously did not have your experience. There ARE good mothers too!
@@jensherman2771 My mother was not narcissistic, she was a nice woman and not a bad mother. And this is not a "perfectly nice comment" at all, it's condescending and gaslighting for lots of people's experience. And simply not true.
@@magdarejnert4144 you are correct. I find most people's comments on RUclips Just way over the top like they're either getting paid or just trying to see how many likes they can get by placating this that or the other thing.
Such gush. 😂
Such a great movie! The cast is excellent and the download is perfect!!
Enjoyed this beautiful movie! It's a shame movie's today aren't made like they used to be!!!
I came upon this movie when looking for a Susan Hayward movie. I don't know why this one was among them on the list. It is a marvelous movie. I love Olympia Dukakis; she never disappoints.
Hello it's nice connecting with you, how's your day going for you?
What a beautiful story/movie! Anything with Della Reese, I know I will love! 😊💜
🤣🤣🤣🤣 my husband is watching the Dodgers game 🤣🤣🤣
An absolutely wonderful movie. Wonderful, wonderful story. Superb presentation.
I almost choked at the old couple seeking a divorce
I cried a lot when she died.. I can relate his situation because I just lost my mom recently 😢
I love the housekeeper. She’s hilarious.
Everything about this film was excellent...from the cast to the storyline. I loved every moment of this film.
I chose this film over average Hallmark movies because they made better movies in the 90's.
@@mr.2cents.846
only two the whole movie
WHAT A LOVELY ENDING -- that was a great movie -- and how could any woman in her right mind possibly resist John Stamos ?
Easily
A woman in her right mind wouldn't be attracted to womanizers
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!! I was thinking the same thing
@@becibabe7364 EXTREMELY easily!
He’s too much of a narcissist.
He wouldn’t work for me.
Cried my eyes 👀 out…
Being a pianist, it really hit home.
Perhaps you can help me as I cannot remember the name of the piece Olympia kept playing on the piano. So familiar, I used to play it, but the name just eludes me. thank you....
Holy moly what a cast! So many TV show stars from the 80s & 90s such as Della Reese from Touched By An Angel, Renee Taylor from The Nanny, John Stamos from Full House, Estelle Getty from The Golden Girls and of course, the late Olympia Dukakis! Really enjoyed this one!
