DVD Description

When a widowed mother refuses to date even years after her husband's death, daughter Vicky (Sofia Milos) sets out on a quest to find romance for her mom - even if it means striking a deal with a handsome gambler (Jason Isaacs) whom no mother would ever approve!


Synopsis

Set in the small fishing village of New Bedford, Massachusetts, this romantic comedy is a multi-generational tale of a Portuguese-American woman who is coaxed out of mourning by her daughter and mother-in-law. Celia (Sofia Milos) is a 37-year-old widow who lost her husband to a fishing accident seven years earlier. Resigned to a life of celibate heartbreak, she spends her days working at the local textile factory while taking care of her elderly mother-in-law (Lupe Ontiveros) and her rebellious teenage daughter Vicky (Emmy Rossum). Her nights are dedicated to expressing her passion and loss in her performances of "Fado," Portuguese folk music, at a local nightclub. One evening during her performance, Charles Beck (Jason Isaacs), a mysterious British stranger, arrives at the club and is smitten with the lovely torch singer. However, Charles, driving a Jaguar and claiming to be involved in the fishing industry, is not exactly what he seems. He's actually a drifter and professional gambler searching for a safe harbour. At first, Celia refuses to be wooed by the romantic stranger but after her daughter gets involved she begins to soften. What follows is a warmhearted, character-driven romance in the tradition of MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gentle and enjoyable, 12 Jun 2005
By G. M. Ranson "gillmr" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's not a blockbuster; I wasn't on the edge of my seat; it didn't make me cry; it didn't make me laugh. That's why I describe it as gentle - I watched it without going through an emotional wringer! Jason Isaacs plays a "loveable rogue" trying to woo a very glamourous lady, widowed with a teenage daughter (Emmy Rossum). Just try to ignore his awful wig, which he had to wear because he'd been working on Black Hawk Down and was practically bald!! The special features on the DVD are pretty good - the feature length commentary with the actors is especially entertaining. If you like romantic films, give it a go; if you're a Jason Isaacs fan, buy it!! Not only does he star, he also talks a lot on the commentary!!

5.0 out of 5 stars really good, 27 Jan 2009
By Dawn Helen Hancock (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Nice, sweet, chick flick. Whether you like Jason Isaacs or not really nice film to watch on a Saturday Afternoon with a glass of wine and a box of chocolates.
