When his long time off and on girlfriend (Stephine March) gets engaged to another man, a mild mannered private school teacher (Chris Eigeman) takes the advise of his grouchy, Argentinian therapist (Ian Holm) and persues a beautiful widow (Famke Janssen) on his schools board. Based on a novel I now want to read, this is a very charming feature from director Oren Rudavsky, who principly does documentary. Great performances from a strong cast, especially Famke and the under known Chris Eigman, he's charming and should have had more of a leading man career as a kind of American Colin Firth. Harris Yulin, who I was surprised to learn is still alive, does some very good work as Eigman's loving but distant father. ***
