Product Description:
CAN GARCIA HELP HIS WIFE IN HER MOVING STRUGGLE TO OVERCOME ALCOHOLISM?
Amazon.com essential video:
When a Man Loves a Woman is a dumb title (not another classic pop song, please) for a very smart movie. A kind of gender-switch take on The Lost Weekend, it's about a woman (Meg Ryan) whose alcoholism almost destroys her family. That may sound like just another TV movie, but When a Man Loves a Woman is so authentic in detail and emotion, that everything about it seems fresh, urgent, and engrossing. That's because the film is grounded in the actual experience of co-writer Al Franken (assisted by Rain Man scripter Ronald Bass). Franken is best known for his affiliation with Saturday Night Live and Politically Incorrect, and as the author of Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot, and Other Observations. You may recall that Franken is the creator of Stuart Smalley, 12-step programmer extraordinaire. Well, if you want to know how Stuart was born, you can start here. This is no comedy, however. In fact, one of the most painful realizations comes when attractive, "good-time girl" Alice Green (Ryan) and her husband (Andy Garcia) begin to realize how much of a role alcohol played in their marriage and in bringing them together in the first place. The issues and experiences confronted in this movie go far beyond the stuff you see on Oprah. --Jim Emerson

Someone said they showed parts of "When a Man Loves a Woman" to them in an alcohol program they were in after a DUI arrest. Interesting. From the title it sounds like it is going to be a romance, even a romantic comedy, but it is a serious drama about a man who is married to an alcoholic. Michael Green (Andy Garcia) is a pilot who meets Alice (Meg Ryan) in the Buena Vista Café in Fisherman's Wharf. Actually, it is in what we San Franciscans used to call The Marina. It is the bar where Irish Coffee ... Read More

A thoughtful, insightful movie. Don't coming looking for a romantic comedy or you will be disappointed. I was curious about it because Al Franken had co-written the screenplay. I was familiar with his career as a Saturday Night Live performer and writer and his political satire. As the child of a non-recovered alcoholic parent, I was interested, especially after he launched his Senate campaign, to see how he would handle a difficult, serious, topic of an intimate, personal nature. Al and the rest of ... Read More

I bought this movie off of this site because I have been searching for it all over and finally came here and found it. The movie, as I am sure everyone has seen, is about an alcoholic mother who seems to disreguard everything and everyone in her life. She finally is sent away for some help and her family/children come and visit her. Its an adorable movie and Andy Garcia is so adorable in it. It was cheap, easy and sent to me within the next day. I'm not really a movie person, but when I go to search ... Read More
