Matthew Broderick: When his wife passes away from an illness, he fears being disloyal to her by loving another. Felicity Huffman empathizes with him, being a widow herself.

Paul Dano: College aged without a care in the world. Fuck'em and Leave'em, that's his philosophy. He jumps from woman to woman, shallow as a kiddie pool. When he meets the true love of his life, average looking Jena Malone.

Jimmy Bennett: Has reached that awkward stage where we start thinking about the other sex as more than just a friend, Jimmy represents the total innocent puppy love and unforgettable firsts with Sammi Hanratty.

Alan Arkin: Always a searcher, never really found his true love. The estranged father of Matthew's deceased wife, he's had his share of failed relationships and marriages. Just as he himself is ready to kick the bucket, he finally discovers a true love in a bedridden dying Vanessa Redgrave. Determined to enjoy their short time together, Alan wants to show her the life they could have had.

If you're familiar with 'Family Guy' when Brian forms a relationship with a former singer, Alan's storyline is similar to that storyline, particularly in the ending when he shows her the life they could have had together before she dies. It was one of the few most heartfelt touching Family Guy moments ever.
