For a synopsis of the plot, read one of the many other reviews. The reason I loved this movie when I saw it (stuck on a tarmac in a stifling plane in Hawaii for two hours) is that I also have a lame leg, from polio, and had to wear a walking cast for an injury at one time (one ofmany injuries, actually). It was the only time I felt I could walk normally, since one of my legs is two inches shorter than the other, weak and partially paralyzed. I loved that when the heroine had an acceptable reason to limp - the ski injury with cast on the leg - she was an equal. I have often felt that in relationships it has been hard for men to judge me on my inner merit because I am lame. It is one thing to love a lame person, but another to commit a lifetime with her. Or him. I have been married and deeply in love for two decades, but there were a lot of years of difficulty prior to that when I took up with men I should not have, just to be in a relationship. When I saw this movie, I could SO relate to the character's having a chance to be seen as a normal person.
