Audience Member Love the whole of it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Its an alright movie, nothing special that makes you go wow but its watchable! The storyline had potential and i liked the story al though there were flaws you could improve the story as this movie didnt do the story justice and it had so much potential to be a funny romantic comedy drama, that pulls at the heart strings and be an emotional movie but the movie fails in all these aspects! Sam Neill shouldnt have longish hair but still looks pretty gorgeous !! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member An overprotective Catholic mother (Cusack) insists on enrolling with her son when he goes to university. There, to her surprise, she discovers a capacity for knowledge that she didn't know she had, but just as she is beginning to blossom she is given the worst possible news. Neil plays a grouchy college professor. It had protential to be a sweet romantic, inspiring comedy and although its an okish drama, its nothing special and very much recycled script of religion doubting, mid life crisis etc. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member How embarrassing for the poor guy, his mother going to the same university. Tragic a freak accident led to her finding out she had alzheimers but brilliant she completed her degree. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice drama, and although they don't get too deep into the themes, it still remains an example of good filmmaking. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Heartly and warm drama. Very nice. The two nuns are worth the whole film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
