I had to watch this movie twice to fully understand everything that just happened. A very emotional movie. Full of moving details about two people suffering and how something as painful as dying from cancer and losing your mate can be a vehicle for loving someone's child that you were responsible for the death of their parent. Very moving story and I love Kevin and Marcia. Just buy it and watch it.

Very Compelling movie with excellent acting by 2 lead stars and others. Covering a multitude of human relationship and their inherant problems. The triumph of the human spirit is handled very well. My wife says its a 3 tissue movie

The deal breaker for this film is that at no point was the plot plausible. Even that I can suspend if the characterization and emotion evoked by flawless chemistry is in place. Neither was. The story should have been compelling and made me care. Instead I found myself doubting the conflict, thus, not caring about its resolution. I do have high hopes of Eastwood's future films, however.

One of Kevin's and Marcia's finest, touching, moving and emotional films. This is simply a great film.

An unexpected, yet emotional pleasure for a Saturday afternoon
Added 2/7/2009
I watched this touching, thoughtful, and masterfully acted story this afternoon, just wanting to relax a little after a tough week. I didn't foresee experiencing healing emotions, tears (of sorrow and of joy), and memories of a similar situation in my own life. The main 3 actors, famous as they are, disappear into the characters. I felt like I was sitting next to them...and in the story, myself. I had no choice but to be affected by this movie, in a meaningful way. Thank you to Kevin Bacon, (mesmerizing in this character), Marsha Gay Harden (such a beautiful, tender soul), and the young boy (simply excellence). This is one of the best Saturdays I've had in a while.
