Steve W Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 OK, you guys have always been GREAT at coming up with names of TV series/films etc (TV NERDS !? . . perhaps it comes from HAVING to watch TV while the Soops in the garage/bodyshop/laid-up-for-winter ????? ) THIS may be more for the girlies ? :- There was a FILM and it was about a WAITRESS (well known actress ?). She sort of RUNS a small CAFE (restuarant ?) and it belongs to her FATHER/GRANDAD who sits around in there talking to his old mates ?? The BLOKE (sloppy love bit ) has to go in there cos he's lost/no wallet/late night ??? and i think she can't/won't leave the place cos of her father (Grandad?) While she's serving/talking to bloke the Dad/Grandad and his mates are talking TOO her and ABOUT her etc. Think she had Black/Dark hair and vaguely looked like Sandra Bullock ???? AMERICA (obviously !) Think the father/Grandad was famous too (errrr older Paul Newman-type ?) HOW VAGUE IS THAT ?!?!?!? Any clues ?? FatS. ps. It just BUGS me when i can't remember an old film/song etc . . . you know ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozz Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Is it the one where the bloke wins the lottery and offered to split it with the waitress? If so, I can't remember the name anyway!

Soop Dogg Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Try THIS Click on the trailer Guys wife dies and donates her heart. Then he meets the girl who received it but doesn't know she has his dead wife's heart. SHe works in her fathers restaurant - father spend the evenings playing cards in the restaurant with his elderly friends cracking jokes etc etc. Good film actually. Is this the one?

Hahahahah, do a search for some of the blue collar comedy tour stuff ....and with my luck with blowing stuff up and always having odd bits of cars, bikes and karts in the shed, it made sense... "If the book value of your truck goes up and down depending on how much gas it has in it, you might be a redneck",Jeff Foxworthy. Or their definition of a redneck, 'The absence of sophistication'... iuiCnQc17jg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
