I was looking for than one, but I also loved "Planes, Trains and Automobiles," can't help watching that one when it's on TV. I saw "All of Me" in the theater and really enjoyed it, thought it was LOL funny and that Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin were a brilliant duo. I raved about it so much that my parents and brother went to see it and they didn't have the same reaction at all, and I never understood that. I loved it, too, glad to know that I'm not alone...
