Jack and Sarah is a 1995 romantic comedy film written and directed by Tim Sullivan, and starring Richard E. Grant, Samantha Mathis, Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins, Cherie Lunghi and Ian McKellen.
Grief-stricken, Jack rejects fatherhood, leaving the baby girl in the care of his parents and Sarah's mother.
Fatherhood comes naturally to Jack, but he struggles with balancing raising his daughter, house renovation construction, and with his day-time job.
Unfortunately, the interview process finds candidates who are cold or detached or just plain strange, much to Jack and the grandparents' dismay.
In a chance outing at a restaurant with Sarah, Jack encounters the waitress Amy, an American living in London.
