There's a nice tone in this bittersweet tale with a great performance by Russell.

Good film.

Tedious, way too sympathetic towards the wife-beating husband.

Considering my gender, I enjoyed this movie way more than I probably should have. I don`t think that I was its intended audience, but that didn't seem to matter. What can I say? I thought it was hilarious and appropriately sentimental. Like a sap, I bought into the whole thing. Just a great little movie.

Best enjoyed without the last 10 minutes.

Very good performance by Kerry Russell; didn't care for the feminist fantasy ending.

Quirky feel good film about relationships and baking pies.

Why do you have a song by Cake in a movie about pie?

I don't like movies where the heroin cheats on her husband.

I am not a huge pie fan, but the movie itself wasn't bad. The interaction between Russell and Hines at times could be pretty funny. Russell's character at times started to annoy me a bit, but that once again could just be that I am not a big pie fan. It is good to see that Felicity has graduated from RA status and found work at a diner.

I don't wanna say it's a romantic comedy because that would slightly demean it and it's mostly devoid of "romance" anyway. Russell does a great job portraying an exasperated woman with an unwanted baby on the way. I really enjoyed her twisted "mother/son" relationship with her awful husband (loved his slow honking), which is a fresh angle to take and kept him from being a completely stereotypical abuser. The ending was a little on the hokey side, but I grew so invested in Russell, I didn't mind.

A "romantic comedy" (if it can be called that) that actually has something more to offer than letting the viewer turn his or her brain off for 2 hours and stare at the screen in a dopey, mildly entertained stupor. It's quirky in a good way and I loved the dialogue between the waitresses. Not quite sure I get the diva moment at the end and I think the mean husband could have been a bit meaner, but those are my only complaints. I liked it and would definitely watch it again.

Life ain't always easy

It seems a bit self-indulgent on writer/director Adrienne Shelly's part, but this was one of those "go in with no expectations and end up enjoying it" types of films. I caught it on HBO one afternoon while having nothing to do. It isn't amazing but it could've been way worse.

Pies!

The performances are very good in this movie. Kerri Russell does a great job in the lead role. My only problem with the movie is the ending seems a bit much.
