John Candy's "Only the Lonely" being loosely (very loosely) based on/inspired by this made me want to see it. And although Candy's film is funny, whereas this one wasn't, this one was still a pretty enjoyable film. It was sentimental and understated, short and sweet. A subtle character-driven little romantic drama with people you can root for.
I much prefer the 1991 version for its big laughs and stars, but for fans of that movie, this movie is definitely worth seeing as-well.
