| | Great Film | mmij58 07/21/2012 | A wonderful feel-good movie with a great cast and musical score. This is my favorite movie of all time. I can watch it over and over. Although I'm a big Albert Brooks fan, I'm not such a big Meryl Streep fan but this movie makes you just fall in love with both of them.
A fun, thought-provoking, and sometimes silly movie... suitable for all ages. |
