This is an enjoyable movie with terrific performances including Camryn Manheim and the up-and-coming Becca Gardner. It's a slice-of-life story with a "bear"ly believable subplot...but is brought down by the casting of Jennifer Lopez as a flawed single mother. Watching her on-screen, you'd almost expect Lopez to beat her boyfriend silly rather than run away from the jerk, her personality is just not right for this character and she doesn't pull it off. Well worth a rental for the performances of Redford and Freeman alone, as well as for the lovely cinematography, I'm surprised that this one didn't get a bigger push at the theatres, it must have been breathtaking up on the big screen.
