I just watched the film uncut on Japanese TV. I found most of the film unfulfilling. The story was thin. Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon were straining to make something out of their roles. Jake G.'s blankness was irritating and Holly Hunter was a cipher.
Nevertheless, it was worthwhile because Ellen Pompeo was absolutely perfect. As the commenter from Turkey said so eloquently: "Every man in this world easily in love with this character which Ellen Pompeo gave life." I might have to start watching Grey's Anatomy after this!
One other good thing about the film was the soundtrack. The not-so-well-known Van Morrison songs ("I'll Be Your Lover Too" and "Sweet Thing") really gave the love story a boost.
