Summary: In praise of a wonderful movie
Review: I think this movie was superbly written and the actors did a fantistic job of telling this tragic story as it really is in true life. I lost my wife of 29 years to this horrible disease. At times it was extremly difficult to watch. Unlike Morrie, my wife gave up on life when she recieved her diagnosis on Nov 17 of last year. I was her only caregiver and I could relate to everything in this movie. The main difference was that my wife was unable to speak and her memory was going by the wayside. I would recommend this movie to everyone.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It bored me...
Review: I wanted to like this movie - I really did - but unfortunately, it really, really bored me. We need movies to inspire us, to help us feel better about our crappy lives? It didn't teach me anything except my jacket makes an awfully good pillow. I had to watch it my senior year of high school in Adult Life. I wouldn't suggest this movie to anybody, but if you're the type who desperately needs inspiration and can't find it anywhere else, then you might like this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a great film
Review: i watched the film for the first time on wednesday 14th august and i can honestly say that it is a very heartfelt film. the first time i watched it brought me to tears. i enjoyed watching this film because i felt like that before when some one close to me died and i can honestly say that it will always remain in my heart it showed me there is a lot more in life! watch it!

Summary: Some get it & some don't
Review: I've read the book & watched the movie. I've read the reviews on this movie as well. Most get it & a few wasted their precious time watching it, then wasted my time with their childish & foolish comments. They probably loved Lost In Translation .. now that was a major yawn for me!

Jack Lemmon was at his best in my opinion.

Unless you've confronted death up close & personal and who hasn't by now or truly have a sensitive side, this movie will likley only distract you. Probably because you're too busy not being in the NOW! Slow down, watch it again, without phones or kids or talking .. just take it in and if it still doesn't touch you in some way then you're probably already dead!

Summary: Thanks Mrs. Rhymes
Review: If you haven't read the book, that's the first thing you should do. I was forced to read this book by my teacher, having not read many books in my life, but found it to be one of the best books I've read. The movie is great. But, you should read the boook to better understand what Mitch, the writer is feeling during those last moments he had with his tutor on life. Of course the movie adds a little more drama by making the story between Mitch and Janine, his fiance, more prominent. Overall the movie captures the idea of the book, of a old man who has come in to terms with his eminent death and leaves behind his notes on how to live a more fulfilling life. I would highly reccomend the book and for those who needs more of a visual media, to get the movie.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Great Movie
Review: In the movie Tuesdays With Morrie, Mitch (Hank Azaria) is a successful sportswriter who suddenly learns that one of his old professors, Morrie (Jack Lemmon) is ill. Mitch visits Morrie and the two form an emotional bond, allowing Mitch to see what is really important in life. Tuesdays With Morrie is categorized as a drama but it does contain some funny parts and some sports. Some things that Morrie said made me laugh. They show Mitch at sporting events and press conferences. Mitch ends up flying 700 miles to Boston from Detroit every Tuesday to visit his dying professor. Mitch feels bad the first time he goes to visit Morrie because he had not talked to Morrie for 16 years after he said that he would keep in touch at his graduation at Brandeis University. At the end of the movie, Morrie finally got Mitch to open up and cry. He also got Mitch to talk about what he was afraid of in life. He taught Mitch a lot about living and about dying. Tuesdays With Morrie is an easy flowing movie and it is very simple to understand. It is a movie for people of all ages. The actors, especially Jack Lemmon, do an exceptional job playing their roles in the movie. The book and the movie are almost identical. There are not really any major differences between the book and the movie. One of the differences is that in the book Janine is Mitch's wife and in the movie Janine is Mitch's girlfriend. I think that Tuesdays With Morrie was a very good movie. It made me think of what is important in life, including friends and family. This movie changed my outlook on life. It made me realize what is most important in life and how I need to treat people, especially my elders. I think the theme of this movie was to get people to treat people better, with dignity and respect. I think that anybody that watches this movie will leave happier and with a better understanding about life and how to treat others.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Syrupy Sweet and Corny
Review: O.K. I realize that this movie is well liked by many people out there, but personally I found it too be overly sentimental...in fact to the point that it was corny. What really pushed it over the edge was Morrie's habit of crying every five minutes, or so it seemed. If that had been toned down, the movie may have been salvageable. My favorite movie genre are "tearjerkers" but I can't say this is one I would recommend.
