You've Probably Seen This, It Came Out in 2003

I REALLY like movies that have REAL dialogue, quirky events, and characters who engage me. I think that's why All the Real Girls was so good to me. It was a love story done right. Nothing cheesy, nothing cliche. There was a scene where the main character had to help his mom out with her clown routine at the children's hospital. Go here and watch the scene several times like I did. It might make you want to see the whole movie.
