i have never liked peter falk...columbo! but i think he did a good job in this movie. i have terminal renal cell cancer and often think of suicide...it was quite interesting what the family was put through with his desire to check out. frankly, in the end, i'm glad he lived!

I felt the cast over-acted a bit, and the dialogue was a bit contrived at times, but the overall movie was actually very funny and heartwarming - not bad at all!

Like this one. Fun and thought provoking at the same time. Chase scene and all.
