What a great old fashioned movie. It's pretty standard stuff, however somebody smarter than me said it sometime or other, but, 'it's not always about the story but in the telling of it'. This was told perfectly and with much human insight. Totally enjoyed the father/son banter between Peter Falk and Paul Resier. It made me laugh out loud, made me cry real tears and made me think, but not too hard. Just what I needed! Beautiful little movie and I want the car that Peter Falk bought in this. sweet

I wasn't sure I would like this at first during the ride home after looking at the house for sale when they were arguing. Immediately after that I began to enjoy it. Peter Falk was exceptional. Paul Reiser was also good. One of the few good movies I have seen recently that I would recommend to friends. Very funny pool room scene.

A decent movie, middle age children, can relate if they have older living parents. Tender and touching in some scenes. Language and content would be better for older 13 up kids. If it weren't fot that, it would be an ok movie for any age group. Worth a rent, you decide if it's worth a buy.

This movie was very funny. It reminded my family of my father. It was very real. Definitely worth watching again.

It is hard to find a movie that can make you cry one minute and than make you laugh the next. Very heartfelt movie that any close family could relate too. Peter Falk was amazing!
