An Unfinished Life (2005)

Jean (Jennifer Lopez) is forced to return to her hometown after her luck and cash run out. She's been avoiding it because, more than 10 years back, she was driving when her husband was killed in a one-car accident. Her father-in-law, Einar (Robert Redford), is a rancher turned bitter in the aftermath of his son's death, for which he blames Jean. Jean's daughter is surprised to find out she has a living paternal grandfather. Jean's father-in-law is surprised to find out that he has a granddaughter, conceived before the accident. Let the healing begin!

This is a beautiful looking movie, but it's full of forced sentimentality: i.e. Einar's best friend was mauled by a bear and spends the bulk of the movie concerned for its welfare. He forgives the bear, dangit! Can't Einar forgive his daughter-in-law?

It's really not bad, but neither is it memorable.
