A bit slow but it has a great plot of how a young lost person can find themselves with the help of their role models.

A multigenerational quilting circle shares lessons of life and love with an engaged and commitment-phobic Winona Ryder. Tea and a movie.

A charming film with eccentric cast and vignettes about their loves. I love the flashback scenes. "Chick flick" can entertain men.

Intriguing, albeit boring at times, though nicely acted.

I remember enjoying it, but I honestly forgot about it until it popped up. Cute, but not memorable.

Women telling tales if personal struggle and triumph. 100 % Sentimental.

One of my favorite movies EVER!

Amazing story and cast.
