This movie no title.

I saw a preview for this movie, but I can't remember the name.

A mother lives alone with her son, who sends letters to his absent father who his aboard either a navy ship or a cargo ship. the replies he receives are actually written by his mother to make her son believe that he actually has a father. When the fictitious father's ship is to return home, the mother has to find a suitable replacement. What is the name? Unfortunately searching for the topic finds a host of completely generic results.

Having seen this movie, it is a pleasant character study kind of film. My wife enjoyed it very much, I felt there were not enough explosions and trucks that turn into robots.
