IMDB
Sally Fields stars as a recently divorced woman who just moved to a small town to groom horses. She meets the owner of the pharmacy. They begin a friendship, but Fields' ex-husband comes to town and starts living with them, making a bit of a mess of things.
I liked this movie, even though it's not typically my kind of flick. I like Sally Fields (I'm getting Gidget from Netflix very soon) and she was very good in this. This is just a light romantic comedy, but you could do a lot worse. The characters and situations are all founded in reality. This movie was nominated for two Oscars.
7/10
