Dear Baby, I hope someday somebody wants to hold you for 20 minutes straight and that's all they do. They don't pull away. They don't look at your face. They don't try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight, without an ounce of selfishness to it.
This movie is a uniquely beautiful look at female empowerment. It is also the only movie to be able to brag that it stars Andy Griffith, Matlock, Capt. Malcom Reynolds, and Richard Castle. For all of its awesomeness, the movie is overshadowed by the tragic story of its writer/director, Adrienne Shelly who was taken from this world just as she was putting the finishing touches on this film. Her story is seriously too sad to recount (feel free to check it out on wikipedia if you like), but her memory lives on in this touching love letter to her daughter.
Um, why did you have to come down from amazing grace to this? Will, I worry about you sometimes!
