| | Kept My Interest Through Entire Movie | Ronnie 05/11/2012 | | Bette Midler was super. George Segal and James Caan were terrific, too. Their ability to take on the persona of older folks as they aged in the movie blew me away. Definitely would watch over and over again. |
| | Anonymous 06/27/2011 | | This was an excellent film. Keep looking for it to play on one of the cable channels like AMC??? Bette Midler did such a fantistic job she deserved to win the Oscar nomination! |
