still enjoyable after 29 years
I think this is a very enjoyable, even delightful movie with good acting by everyone. Sally Fields is especially skillful, and Garner is also a pro, it goes without saying. The ex-husband, the young mother who shows up, and the boy are all satisfying to watch--no one is a dud. The romance wasn't quite believable, but that can be overlooked, since it is really a small part of the movie. By that, I mean that while they are together a lot, it seems more like a friendship--and I wish it had stayed that way.
