Moonlight and Valentino is very sincere, very heartfelt and very bad.

Moonlight and Valentino is a Hallmark sympathy card of a film, pretty to look at with a message that's sincere. Yet it's hard to take its pretentious platitudes of grief and recovery too personally.

Some good performances help pull this out of a melodramatic quagmire, but in the end the light doesn't shine in this sleepy story.

A terrific cast, headed by Elizabeth Perkins and Whoopi Goldberg, elevates this earnest melodrama up to a point, but director Anspaugh can't find the center of a drama whose issue is rather timely: coming to terms with loss.
