Mitch Albom's For One More Day.

I watched a very touching movie called For One More Day, based on the bestselling book by Mitch Albom. It's a story of how a down and out man who, wanting to commit suicide, instead gets to spend another day with the mother that has a life-changing effect on him and makes him change his mind and turn his life around. Yes the plot sounds very made for tv fodder, it is actually but that's not the thing about it, the special thing about it is that it is heartfelt and touching in its simplicity that it moved me to tears in the end. Simple and sweet and powerful, there's a lack of such substance in films nowadays and For One More Day is a breath of fresh air...
