At last, an unconventional love story. a Hollywood drama with no false characters, a sincere look in the feelings two lonely people develop about each other. The cast is so uniquely selected. Holly Hunter is the nurse whose husband, a medical doctor dumps her for a younger woman. Danny DeVito is the simple janitor in her block of flats who opens himself up to her and makes her feel nice. The catalyst in their relationship is the music of Queen Latifah, an exhilarating Manhattan jazz singer.
