Tuesdays with Morrie

Rating:
Summary: Ho Hum
Review: One of the great ironies of this botched adaptation is that when it originally aired on TV, "Cellular One" was among the sponsors. Not to belittle the extraordinary talents of Mr. Lemmon and Mr. Azaria, but the filmmakers really blew it. Using flashbacks to illustrate as Morrie (Lemmon) talks about his childhood will seem pointless to anyone who has seen the film "Short Cuts"--in which Mr. Lemmon delivers an entire terrific monologue without visual aids. Another problem is the whole relationship subplot (not in the book), not to mention Mitch's sportswriting "adventures". An interesting aspect of the book, only briefly touched on here, is America's obsession with the O.J. trial, which was in full swing at the time of the real Morrie's demise.I thought the book was great. I read it in a single morning, and it made me change the way I looked at some things. The movie only made me want to change the channel. Too bad!

Summary: Exceptionally a Great Movie!
Review: The movie- Tuesdays with Morrie is exceptionally great. I read the book and listen to the audio cds but nothing compares than watching it in DVD. Tears rolled down in my eyes everytime Morrie talks. Love, Forgiveness, Regret, Death etc... "If you learn how to die, the youll learn how to live" is one of the most powerful lines in the movie. Jack Lennon is in his best. The story really touched my heart and moved my soul. A movie for everyone and will sure change your life forever.

Summary: Tuesdays with Morrie
Review: This is the best movie I have ever seen! It was sad accepting that he was going to die, but after hearing the words that Morrie said you look at death from the other end. It's very sad that it is true, but he is on a better place now.

Rating:
Summary: Nice Adaptation of the Book
Review: This is the movie adaptation of the best-selling book, describing the final lesson a dying professor gave to a favorite student of his, now a sport reporter with a lot of questions in his life. Incorporates many of the anecdotes Morrie told in the book, with a few changes and omissions. First, in the movie person Janine is Mitch's girlfriend, while in the book he already married her. Second, a few events in Morrie's life that I think were very touching were ommitted, like the time he worked in the mental hospital and made a difference in the lives of some of the patients, his role in ending a possibly violent demonstration at Brandeis during the Vietnam War, etc. But overrall it's a good adaptation of the book. Jack Lemmon played did an excellent job in playing Morrie (in a role that turned up to be his last). Definetely a thumbs up!!

Summary: OmG
Review: This movie changed my outlook on life. It first aired around Christmas...I was watching it with my mom while my dad was setting up the tree and we were just sitting there bawling like two little babies. Get this movie...it will change your perspective on things and make you realize that theres more to life than the paltry little things we dare call important.

Summary: Excellent movie ---really worth your time and tears!!!!
Review: This movie has touched my heart and enriched my mind so much! (I cried the entire 2 hours.) Yes, we already know a lot of the things that it tries to convey, but this movie has encouraged me to act now and address many of my own personal issues---family, career, friendships, health, etc. and what's really important in life. Jack Lemmon is so good here, and made me think about the importance of caring for my own sick parents. I love him in this movie and God bless his soul for his contribution to humanity--good acting!!!. --of course, kudos to the author Mitch Albom for sharing Morries' wisdom . I will make sure that my daughter gets to watch this movie and read the book and so as all my siblings and dear friends. The book and the DVD are great 40th b-day gifts that I will also make sure I get.=:) AAAAAAA++++++++++++++

Summary: Life as Is
Review: This movie showed a lot of how life really is. People too busy for their loved ones, and people hating people. This movie will definitely have an effect on your life so you should really get it! And make sure you let your friends borrow it!
