a historical novel, a ghost story and a survival adventure story with all women Characters and stories in Mitchard's books often are taken from her life The book, about a Midwestern family whose child disappears, had a first printing of 100,000 â€â€? impressive for any first-time author For example, "Twelve Times Blessed" is about a middle-aged widow who marries a man 12 years her junior after a brief courtship " Now, it's time to relax and regroup for Mitchard, who attributes much of her success to Oprah Winfrey, whom she calls her "fairy godmother Relaxed in jeans and a gray, V-neck sweater, she is entertaining a visitor in her bedroom, which also serves as her office "I always write and always read and I always live and through living come the stories," she says " "I wanted to write about the experience of widowhood and remarriage but I didn't want to write my experience of it," says Mitchard, 49, who is married to Chris Brent, 37 While writing the book, the birth father of a baby daughter adopted by Mitchard and Brent challenged custody The dialogue is a bit wordy for the screen, and the action â€â€? only talking, really â€â€? takes place almost exclusively in a New York apartment PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested "The Guys" tells the story of Joan â€â€? a New York journalist and working mom â€â€? who confronts her own anguish through an unusual working relationship with a fire captain, Nick, who has lost most of his men The film is set on Sept The Flea's founder, Jim Simpson, has now turned Nelson's play into a film starring his wife, Sigourney Weaver, and Anthony LaPaglia Others felt the urge to reach out, especially to strangers who suddenly had become partners in tragedy " Patrick was a leader, who also found time to make a Waldorf salad for his church picnic 21, 2001, when the shock and horror have had a little time to sink in "He was chomping at the bit Bernie and Dave were the jokesters LaPaglia is just as good, capturing perfectly the agony of this man who loves his job and loved his men, and deeply wants to find the words to do them justice Nick is a man of little words, overcome with grief For Jimmy, a rookie, Sept "The Guys," a Focus Features release, is rated PG for thematic elements and brief language She asks Nick to describe the men, one by one, whom he must eulogize All ages admitted Nick needs to write eulogies for eight of his men "The Guys" was written, originally as a play, to give voice to some of those feelings Even more striking is the fact that we never see the men who are the main subject of all the talk PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13 In the scene when Nick finally delivers his eulogy, the church is filled not with extras but with firefighters, police officers and real family members of those who died 85 min Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian Three stars out of four Eventually, anecdotes and snippets of life come pouring out Weaver is absolutely believable as a writer seeking to achieve some kind of solace using her talent Some material may be inappropriate for young children The movie doesn't need them He doesn't know where to start 11 "was his first big fire," Nick tells Joan </p > For some, staying quiet and withdrawn was the way to cope R â€â€? Restricted Some material may not be suitable for children It's surprisingly effective Joan finds a way to weave them into an eloquent whole Initially, Nick and Joan have problems meshing So he comes to Joan for help Her best moment in the film comes when she's alone, calling out plaintively for time to reverse itself: for the planes to withdraw from their fiery collision with the twin towers, to fly back where they came from and land safely; for the fire trucks to drive back to the station houses, firefighters safely aboard Anne Nelson, who'd never written a play before, wove together her own experiences into a piece for the small Flea Theater, just blocks from ground zero 11 attacks, many New Yorkers walked around in a daze, trying to make sense of the incomprehensible Post-9-11, their relationship somehow makes sense â€â€?â€â€? Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G â€â€? General audiences For Joan, words are her tools As Joan tells Nick, nothing in the pre-9-11 world would ever have brought them together At the end of the film, you realize there have been no images of the twin towers crumbling, of the planes crashing in fireballs â€â€? none of those pictures that we all know too well Many directors would have provided flashbacks of these firefighters, but Simpson doesn't, forcing the audience to do some work of its own At the Movies: 'The Guys' Apr 4, 6:21 AM EST In the numbing days following the Sept NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted It's easy to see this film originally was a play It manages to capture the event in a quiet, mournful and ultimately uplifting way |
