I very much like this film. The focus is on character development of Jack after a trauma. There are many touching and funny moments, and through it all Jack seems very real. The cast members are well known British actors. The British films are favorites.

Sweet story, amazing cast
Added 2/8/2009
Jack loses his wife in childbirth and is left alone to take care of his newborn daughter, Sarah. In addition to spot-on performances by Richard E. Grant and Samantha Mathis, Jack's mother is played by Judi Dench; his mother-in-law by Eileen Atkins and his wacky friend by Ian McKellan -- quite an impressive cast. The beginning is very sad as it depicts a man who is wallowing in the depths of despair over his loss. Slowly he's brought to life by his growing love for his new daughter. At first, he doesn't quite know how to be a parent, but he's helped by Amy, an American girl who becomes the live-in nanny, as well as family and friends. This is ultimately a story about second chances -- not just for Jack but also for other characters who learn about both letting go of the past and reconnecting with what's important in life.

Jack and Sarah
Added 5/31/2007
Its a great movie if you really like drama and real life. This kind of story happens in real life. Every year a mother dies giving birth and is not easy for a man that has never been a dad before to overcome this kind of situations.

I HAD SEEN THIS MOVIE YEARS AGO AND THOUGHT ALONG WITH THE TRAGEDY OF LIFE THERE CAN BE EVENTUALLY SOME HAPPINESS AND A NEW LIFE.
