For her performance, Ryan received a [[Screen Actors Guild Award]] nomination for [[Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role - Motion Picture|Best Female Actor in a Leading Role]].<ref>http://www.sagawards.org/1_award_nom SAG Website</ref> The movie's title is taken from the [[When a Man Loves a Woman (song)|song of the same name]] by [[Percy Sledge]]. * Tagline: ''Through the good times. Through the bad times. When a Man Loves a Woman: it's for all times.'' ==Plot== The movie chronicles one woman's [[Meg Ryan]] [[alcoholism]] and her husband's [[Andy Garcia]] efforts to help her. [[Meg Ryan]], who plays Alice Green, a school counselor who has a serious drinking problem. Her husband is Michael [[Andy Garcia]], an airline pilot. Though she's lighthearted and loving, Alice is often reckless and, when drunk, even neglects her children, nine-year-old daughter Jess [[Tina Majorino]]rom a previous marriage, and four-year-old daughter Casey [[Mae Whitman]], whose father is Michael. After an accident, Alice realizes that she has "hit bottom" and goes into a clinic for rehab. When she returns home, she has kicked her addiction and has become independent and strong, and her perfectionist, controlling husband has trouble adjusting. Michael is used to his wife being weak and helpless, and they end up seeing a marriage counselor to recover from Michael's "co-dependency" on Alice's role as an [[alcoholic]]. .<ref>"When A Man Loves A Woman Plot Summary and Details" . http://www.moviefone.com/movie/when-a-man-loves-a-woman/8770/synopsis</ref> ==Cast== *[[Andy García]] as Michael Green *[[Meg Ryan]] as Alice Green *[[Ellen Burstyn]] as Emily *[[Tina Majorino]] as Jessica Green *[[Mae Whitman]] as Casey Green *[[Lauren Tom]] as Amy *[[Philip Seymour Hoffman]] as Gary *[[Eugene Roche]] as Walter *[[Gail Strickland]] as Pam *[[Steven Brill (scriptwriter)|Steven Brill]] as Madras Tie Guy *[[Susanna Thompson]] as Janet *[[Erinn Canavan]] as Shannon *[[LaTanya Richardson]] as Dr. Gina Mendez *[[Bari K.
