Summary: motivational, soothing and entertaining
Comment: I've seen this several times and finally purchased the videotape. This movie has a wonderful score, and beautiful scenery, but I think anyone can relate to the portrayal of people who have outgrown their previous identities and have to refind themselves. Steveston in the film is a little bit unbelievable, with everyone so helpful and kind, leaving only the principles (Sally Field, Judy Davis and Carly Pope) to battle their dysfunctional selves, so that is rather unrealistic, but the film is so seductive in its message of healing and hope, that you can overlook that. BTW, the book the movie is based on has a very different and not pleasant ending. I think the movie is better.

Summary: Entertaining, funny, and motivational
Comment: I found "A Cooler Climate" to be a delightful film. The film is about a woman, whose a recent divorcee and gets a job as a housekeeper. Sally Field plays the recent divorcee and housekeeper to another well-to-do woman (played by Judy Davis), her employer and they soon begin to realize that they have more in common than differences. They're both unhappy for different reasons, but begin to develop a friendship.
The basic premise of the movie is about a well-to-do divorcee, Sally Field, who realizes that sometimes life isn't always the way you intend it, but you can make the best out of a difficult situation.
If you enjoy movies that are entertaining, somewhat dramatic yet inspirational, then I would highly suggest this to anyone whether you're a man or woman because everyone can learn from Sally Field's character.
*(Recommned for older children and adults due to profanity and some of the adult themes such as divorce, marital infidelity being mentioned, etc.)*

Summary: Cooler Climate - Inspirational
Comment: Having come from a similar working relation as the character Sally Field portrayed in this movie was therapeutic. The first time I saw it on TV, I felt like this movie was made just for me. I reflected on my own experience and in doing so allowed the healing process to begin. After viewing it again recently it reminded of the turning point in my professional career and I knew it belonged in my library. It might be hokey to some people, but, I just love positive, uplifting, happy endings. Plus the scenery was absolutely beautiful.

Summary: 1 of Sally Fields Finest
Comment: this is a great movie about a down on her luck woman..on the skits with her daughter..who moves in with a Do nothing rich woman who has nothing to do except nag her..This family is in total termoil..the father hates the mother and the daughter is out of control, cause no one pays attention to her...It's hard but Sally helps the mother and daughter back to each other and some peace of mind for herself..

Summary: Different, but deeper.
Comment: I give this five stars, not for it being an incredible film, but for it being a film which entails so much more than most films made today. I keep hearing people mention that it's the kind of movie made for older women. My response is...whatever. As a twenty yr old who watched this film with a male friend who makes hip hop music, I can say it's a film for everyone alike. We both felt the characters had so much depth and all were highly interesting as people. It's enjoyable and it moves at a nice brisk pace and regardless of some people say, it's a person movie, not a female movie. You don't have to wait for girl's night out, you can watch it with anyone who likes good character development and an interesting look at life from a new angle. Judy Davis is excellent. The movie only suffers from the fact that time is taken up with an unnecessary love interst for Sally Field...and wastes the time they could have used giving us a more solid understanding of the final relationship Field's character and Davis' character have developed. Ah...what they do for poignancy.
