Adam Brooks, the writer and director of this movie, has no wikipedia entry. Surely he's a notable person, yes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.202.50.200 (talk) 20:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update: see Adam Brooks (filmmaker). -- John Broughton (♫♫) 00:40, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Has anyone seen the film that can say the plot outline of it?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.246.148.8 (talk • contribs) 19:10, February 24, 2008

There's a spoiler at [1] that gives a reasonably good plot outline (I haven't seen the movie so can't comment on how accurate it is!) Natebailey (talk) 02:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's accurate minus some glitches where Maya interrupts to make a few comments.--Hitsuji Kinno (talk) 03:10, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have just seen the movie yesterday, and the plot description is very accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.135.19.179 (talk) 17:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of the four adults leads only Banks is actually a US native. Did they do that deliberately ? -- Beardo (talk) 03:04, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Was there supposed to be some sort of Jane Eyre motif going on? I haven't read the book. Could someone clarify this? If so, is it worth a mention in the aritcle? Or was this movie too terrible to deserve such a deep break-down? Depor23 (talk) 07:22, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I saw this film today on FXM. (I don't know if they edit their films or not, so maybe some of my answers were lopped off by the channel). Actually, I only saw about 2/3 of the movie, so if these questions were answered in that last 1/3, I apologize.

The child, Maya, didn't know who her mother was. Why not? Even if her parents divorced or merely split up, what horrifying reason would there be for her not knowing the woman's identity? Had she never thought of asking before? After she guesses who her mother is (I guessed right off the bat, but thought it couldn't have been so simplistic, but apparently it was), why would she not want to immediately meet her before she met April? She's a kid - that's what a kid would desperately want to do. Where she says, "it is tragic that the story has a sad ending", does she mean her mother died? That would explain not wanting to meet her. Or did Sarah/Emily do something so awful that her child would not even consider meeting her?

As is stands, these are big plot holes that aren't answered in the first 2/3 of the movie that I saw or in the plot summary presented here. Any input? Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 22:47, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You obviously had the TV on, but did not watch the movie. Of course the child knows her mother, it is her mother's history with her father she is unaware of and therefore being told in the form of a love story mystery. It is very clear, that her parents have agreed on shared custody and the child is visiting her dad on weekends. And it is not until the very last scene that she meets April. So, there are no plot holes at all (as they are rarely to be found in romantic comedies). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.115.125.53 (talk) 13:04, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is the use of the term "political operative" appropriate here? Usually that term is used with the connotation of disingenuous propaganda, sabotage, espionage, and similar aggressive manipulation or even direct violence. The term itself doesn't even go to an article about the common use of the term, but the "political campaign staff" article (a more NPOV, less negative, and more appropriate term). — al-Shimoni (talk) 15:33, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
