Movie Haiku:Adaptation of Nick Hornsby’s best-seller about a 38 year old confirmed bachelor who gets drawn into a warm & fuzzy relationship with a lonely 12 year old boy. Film has many good moments, but overall we weren’t convinced. Reactions to the school assembly scene may be the big male/female divide.
