Description

Academy Award-winner Kevin Kline ("A Prairie Home Companion," "A Fish Called Wanda") stars as George Monroe, a divorcee who is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Hayden Christensen ("Jumper," "Star Wars" episodes I - III") was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance as Sam, George's contemptuous teenage son, who spends his time doing drugs, engaging in small-time prostitution and avoiding his dying father. In a last-chance effort to fulfill one of his life's dreams, George, an architect, begins rebuilding an old house. He enlists Sam's help in the hopes that the project will enable him to fix his troubled relationship with Sam, and with his ex-wife, whom he abandoned.

    This is the kind of feel good movie that we need to see during this pandemic. It’s also quite sad in parts, too but that is what one would expect in a movie where the main character finds out they have terminal cancer. The acting is superb, especially by Kevin Kline, Kristin Scott Thomas and Hayden Christensen. Great dialogue, engaging plot and for us guys, we get to see Mary Steenburgen’s naked butt! Beautiful movie, definitely worth owning.
  • Absolutely amazing

    I haven't ever watched a film in my 59 years that touched me the way this movie has. The content was as close to my life as the movie was. The actors were perfectly matched for the characters they played. The scenery was magnificent, especially Catalina Island in the background ( I flew there regularly ) and especially the house where most was played out was the perfect scenery. Whenever I need my huge ego deflated, I watch the movie. I am so pleased that the iTunes Store finally had it! I requested it 2 years ago. If you have a family with some dysfunction, then WATCH THIS MOVIE!
  • amazing!

    I really want to own this movie, but iTunes has an error menu that never resolves. I was also charged for Random Hearts that I never clicked on or agreed to. Susie
