Julia Roberts followed up her success in "Pretty Woman" with a similar tale of a poor woman hired as a caretaker by a rich young man dying of leukemia and undergoing chemotherapy. She gets $400 a week and room and board at his Nob Hill mansion. After a time they drive to a northern Californai seaside town where (of course) they fall in love. A sub plot involves local handyman Vincent D'Onfrio, who has designs on Roberts. Too syrupy and weepy for me.
