That's what it felt like. Maybe that was the intent. It wasn't too hard to fill in the blanks at times but if the story isn't a mystery or something, a viewer should have to try and fill in the blanks as often as this movie required. The toughest character to figure out was William. Was he a bum? Wasn't he? When he left how wasn't he a bum anymore? And telling the time frame was a bit difficult at times too. Oh well. It wasn't awful but I doubt I'd watch it more than once. The ending was rather predictable. Not that that's totally awful in a movie like this. You don't see a romcom with the intent of some majorly drastic plot twist.And yeah, they should give a better warning about the language. Netflix rates it PG but that is not US PS language.

I don't think this is one of the best romantic comedy's. It's not very good compared to movies like notting hill, two weeks notice or you've got mail. From a romantic comedy I suspect romance and comedy. I found this more a drama with a few romantic and comical pieces in it. There are funny elements in this movie (Jack for example is very funny with the baby sometimes) and there is some kind of romance in this movie, but the two leading actors don't make me believe they really like each other. It is not a bad movie, it was good for a nice evening of watching television, but it is not the movie I will watch over and over again. Nevertheless I like Richard E Grant in this movie, he and the baby make this movie worth watching. I'm curious about other movies of him.

Although 'Jack and Sarah' is undoubtedly twee and contrived, there is something extremely watchable about a story where a young dad (Jack, played by Richard E Grant), is left to look after his baby when his wife (Sarah, played by Imogen Stubbs) dies in childbirth.Helped and hindered in equal measure by his mother and mother-in-law (Judi Dench and Eileen Atkins), Jack begins to bond with his child and thrives with the support of ditzy nanny Amy (Samantha Mathis) and street dropout Matthew (Ian McKellen in a lovely performance as the wino who becomes the perfect butler and baby minder).Pleasant and undemanding, this drama will make you smile and bring tears to your eyes (using 'Stars' by Simply Red to good effect), but it is far from being a 'good' film.

This film, the first time i saw it had me laughing crying and raging with anger all at the same moment! Throughout the whole film you feel like you know jack and sarah (baby. It hilarious when he wakes up to find sarah next to him! i will never forget this film even if it is for the simple fact that its had me feeling every emotion possible all at the same time! To mention the soundtrack i think it's really good and unlike other films it the songs suit the scenes they are played in. Like the song when sarah is a tiny baby and her father (jack) get up in the middle of the night to see her and ends up swaying,to a song which i don't know the name of! with sarah on his chest. That scene brings me to tears every time is see it! this is a must see!
