This movie had it's downsides. First, that whole business about the wife's project to help the monkey seemed kind of ridiculous and superficial. They could have picked a more inspiring cause. Think about it. Second, it was a little too melodramatic. They could have done without David wailing on the floor, or Grace wailing down the street on her bicycle. Those scenes could have been made sympathetically tragic and moving, but instead they were just cringe moments in the movie. Another thing is why does David's friend give Grace a goodbye kiss when it seemed like he just met her? That would be immensely inappropriate in real life.
That said, there are great aspects of the movie. First, the plot was excellent. The story was original, unusual, and charming. Second, the movie had great characters. There was excellent chemistry between Grace and David, and the men in the restaurant were delightful. One funny scene was when the men are out in the garden, and one of them pretends he's Marlon Brando playing with the children and then collapsing from a heart attack! While the movie had some weak points, it was energized by these positive aspects.
