Thoughts while walking to go see The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: I’m pretty sure that My Stepmother Is an Alien and Sleepless in Seattle are the same movie. Consider:

Two schlubby guys, widowers=Dan Akroyd (MSIAA) + Tom Hanks (SIS)
Two hotties, curious=Kim Basinger (MSIAA) + Meg Ryan (SIS)
Two kids, insufferably articulate and poised=Akroyd’s kid, female + Hanks’ boy, male, with extra points for cuteness
Two gay sidekicks=that one-eyed alien who lives in Basinger’s purse puts Dom DeLuise to shame + Rosie
Two directors who both use very different movies as cultural touchpoints=Basinger learns to kiss watching Casablanca and learns to fuck watching Debbie Does Dallas + Hanks pooh-poohs An Affair to Remember and fears a psychopath who learned to fuck watching Fatal Attraction.

Ok that’s all. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is great, btdubs. Almost as funny as when Dan Akroyd nearly puts his head through the headboard.
