Unconditional Love (2002 film)

Unconditional Love is a 2002 American mid-life re-invention comedy film co-written and directed by P. J. Hogan ("My Best Friend's Wedding") and starring Kathy Bates, Rupert Everett, Dan Aykroyd, and Meredith Eaton.

The film follows Grace Beasley, an archetypal timid and repressed homemaker who, in the wake of a sudden, unexpected marital separation and her favorite pop star's untimely death, takes a plane to England to attend the entertainer's funeral.

One morning, she wins tickets to a concert for her favorite singer, Victor Fox, just as her husband, Max, tells her he wants a divorce, citing a need for more variety and excitement in his life and expressing a dislike of her frequent singing.

She decides to go to England to attend the funeral, and sees a dedication to Victor Fox in the newspaper defining unconditional love, signed "D.S."

Grace's warmth and motherly nature win over Dirk, who reveals that Victor was rejected by his family for being gay and that he enjoyed dressing up in a tiara and pink feather boa as a child.

In the U.S., Maudey joins Grace and Dirk's effort to hunt down the Crossbow Killer, who has killed several people, including Victor Fox, in Chicago.

The trio is arrested due to a misunderstanding, and at the police station Maudey and Andrew reconcile, while Max expresses a desire to reunite with Grace.

Realizing this is not what she wants, Grace meets Maudey and finds Dirk dressed as Victor and loudly playing his music in the parking garage where he was murdered.
