Glorified Soap Opera...

I just saw this movie last night off Showtime, and while I can commend the performances of the actors, all of whom I've admired their work over the years, I'm on the fence on this movie. It's basically a glorified soap opera, perhaps along the lines of a lot of Euro-films- especially French films..??

Annette Bening stars in what I see is actually based on the true story of a woman who meets a man with a striking resemblance to her late husband (Ed Harris). In the meantime, her neighbor (Robin Williams, in what I'm guessing was one of a handful of his last films-??) has a thing for her, but she's not into him. This has got to be the closest thing to a soap opera I've ever seen Williams in I must say. This movie really could've just been some Lifetime TV movie, again had it not been for the performances of it's stars. Amy Brenneman co-stars.
