Table for Five, like Kramer vs. Kramer and Ordinary People, explores familial relationships with warmth and compassion.

A pair of seriously solid performances from both leading men, but Table for Five doesn't contain much sincerity beneath the surface.

A movie that is about a father trying to get close to his children again. A movie with some sad situations, but the movie seems real. Jon Voight is an excellent actor and his role was great.
