Steve D The talent is here but the script leaves them nothing to work with. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member It may not be the best movie ever, but the performances were memorable and such a wonderful story about a boy and his grandfather. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice tale of an old man and his grandson. A true story filmed in my home town here in pittsburgh. (Peter Faulk filmed a few movies here) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Forgot about this little movie that was made in 1995. Very funny and heartwarming. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice. Sweet. Moving. Peter Falk was great as the old geezer (though the makeup sometimes was questionable). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Falk is a lovable grandfather who finds himself rooming with med-student grandson. What ensues is a touching and often very funny examination of both the generation gap and the connection between two well` meaning and well- loved individuals. From the novel by Max Apple Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
