John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Macy, who never says a word, is terrific, and the remake is better than the 1962 original, Gigot, in which an oversize Jackie Gleason tried to be Charlie Chaplin by starring in a story, set in Paris, that he had written for himself. Jan 23, 2018 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...thoroughly engaging and utterly heartwarming from start to finish. Rated: 3/4 Jun 10, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A heartfelt picture of love loss and family acted to excellence by Macy & Keke Palmer Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A dellightful retellling of the film Gigot in which Jackie Gleason starred. I saw the Gleason film as a child and I remember it had a profound effect on me. THis lacks htat dramatic depth, but is still a heartwarming story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Kertomus ihmiselämän arjesta ja rankkuudesta. Päähenkilö oli hyvin mielenkiintoinen hahmo ja tarina jopa uskottava. Ei mikään illan keventäjä, mutta suosittelen mikäli tykkää katsoa elokuvia jotka ovat osaltaan sekä rankkoja, mutta myös päättyvät onnellisesti. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a very good TV Movie. It's funny, sad and heart felt. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member a heartwarming story of how the actions of one man can impact the lives of many. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Lovely heartwarming story of redemption with an interesting mute performance by William H. Macy. Also young Keke Palmer again proves she's a child actor worth a damn. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
