“..thinly-conceived and even more thinly-executed..”
by Chris Barsanti [Filmcritic.com]
3 of 5

“..Reiner, despite a tendency to overdo some of the comedic schtick, has basically delivered a winner that ought to top anyone's own "list" starting with the words "must-see."..”
by Pete Hammond [Maxim]
1.5 of 5

“..never ascends from the bowels of tearjerk formula and audience pandering to a redemptive place of truth and art..”
by Jan Stuart [Newsday]

My husband and I just saw this movie and let left the theater with teary eyes! We watch quite a few movies and this was definatley one of the top ones that so many people in the audience laughed so many times! It was funny and sensitive and I thought it was great how these 2 men helped each other through such a difficult time and became such good friends. I would definatley reccommend this movie!!

I thought this movie was great! Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson are wonderfull actors and together they really demonstrate how important is is to live life to the fullest and just how special family and friends are to have, especially in times of despair. This humorous outlook on how two men share their last days with leave you feeling glad that you chose to watch this movie. Enjoy!
