This is one of those movies that people either really like and relate to or find completely ridiculous. Though I didn't agree with some areas of the film, on the whole it was quite a heart-felt experience.
Marty is in his mid 30s and still not married. His mother is desperate for him to settle down and his friends are constantly trying to bully him into going on nights out to meet women and have fun. But Marty yearns for proper companionship instead of meaningless liasons with random females, and it is only when he has started to give up hope of having a proper relationship that he meets a woman whom he believes is just perfect for him, it's just that his friends don't agree.
Ernest Borgnine acts his heart out in this movie and really is one of the 'nice guys.' I've never seen him act in anything but his performance certainly makes me want to explore more.
