Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics. If you loved Before Sunset or The Bridges of Madison County, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 59 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

Tally Atwater has a dream: to be a prime-time network newscaster. She pursues this dream with nothing but ambition, raw talent and a homemade demo tape. Warren Justice is a brilliant, hard edged, veteran newsman. He sees Tally has talent and becomes her mentor. Tally’s career takes a meteoric rise and she and Warren fall in love. The romance that results is as intense and revealing as television news itself. Yet, each breaking story, every videotaped crisis that brings them together, also threatens to drive them apart...
