This one stars Debra Winger, Barbara Hershey and Gabriel Byrne. Hershey plays the [relatively young] aunt and guardian of Winger who lives in Hershey's guest house. Winger's character has an un-identifiable form of mental illness. Byrne's character is an alchoholic who roams around doing odd jobs. He's brought into the story when he answers the ad for a carpenter to fix a porch on Hershey's home. Before seeing the film I had heard some good reviews of the film, and in Winger's performance in particular. However I found nothing spectacular in her performance (or the film) but it was a good story so I'm still giving it a thumbs up. ps: Jan Hooks has a cameo, see if you can spot her too

I give the movie a thumbs up also. Not terrific, but entertaining and
worth the price of rental.
I gotta say something though and I hope it doesn't spoil the movie for
folks....okay, here goes: Doesn't Debra Winger's acting in the movie
remind you of Leeza Loopner of Saturday Night Live, Gilda Radner fame?
You know: Leeza (Gilda), Todd (Bill Murray) and Ms. Loopner (Jane
Curtain). What with the mouth action and all? Check it out cause I got a
real chuckle out of it just thinking about the similarity.
