Full Throttle Cute

Sweet movie about a widower who ends up adopting a slightly odd child. What I liked about the movie the most was they knew what the good stuff was...John Cusack bonding with the peculiar and cute kid. They didn't waste a lot of time on the overused plot devices to turn the "cute" scenes into a story. When the story begins, Cusack has been a widower for a couple of years and has already thought about adopting, they didn't spend half an hour getting us to this point, more like 5 minutes. It was nice for a change to see a movie filled with people I would actually like to know.
