Summary: I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Words cannot express how much I love this movie! I bought like 8 copies of it and gave them out for Christmas. The music makes me cry and I love the story. My family is sorta like the one in the film and my grandpa is a lot like Marvin. It was very easy to relate to the story. Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton, Leo, Gwen Verdon, Robert De Niro and Hume Cronyn all deserve Oscars and I don't know why that Academy can't recognize great stories when they see it but Keaton deserved her Oscar nomination for Best Actress and did Meryl's Golden Globe nomination. I truly loved Verdon's performance as she reminds me of my grandmother, Leo was terrific and should stick to roles like this more often. I'm still peeved that the Academy didn't give this more Oscar nominations. This is one of the greatest family films to come out of Hollywood in like forever and all should see it. It presents a strong moral of family life and should make others see that we need each other somewhere in our lives and should just lay aside our petty differences about each other. I love this movie so much I encourage all to see it. Box office grosses and awards don't matter with a film like this. My deepest admiartion goes to the writer and director of this film and to Rachel Portman for her touching music. I bought the soundtrack and it is one of the greatest I've heard in years. "TITANIC" has nothing on it and I love it as well. As you can tell, I really, really love this movie! NOW GO SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Meryl+Diane+Leonardo=One Heck of A Movie
Review: I have see this Movie 36 times. It is the most beautiful movie. It shows life and sisters and the generations of a family. Everyone should have received and Oscar (Nomination at least) for their roles. DiCaprio= Powerful performance that took my breath away. Streep=Another great role for this beauty. Keaton=An Oscar Nomination for this delightful woman. I love this movie with all my heart and all my soul. Marvin was great to. I loved the direction. I love the story. I laughed, I cried, but most of all I was over powered by the unforgettable power of this film. 5 star Oscar Material. I Loved Loved Loved it. Thank You Hollywood, Meryl, Leonardo, Diane and all other cast members for another well made film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: He looks so good in this one. He's also very talented
Review: It was very good except the ending was kind of weird, it really left you hanging. But Leo looks incredibly hot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who cares about DiCaprio....Keaton RULES!
Review:

I drove 120 miles one way in the South's worst heat wave in decades to see this film...and I'm so glad I did. Forget all the hoopla about Streep and DeCaprio...this is Keaton's movie from beginning to end.

While Streep and DiCaprio are chewing up the scenery, Keaton steals the show as the unselfish sister tending to her invalid father and squirrely aunt (a fine performance by Gwen Verdon).

This is not a film to see for laughs or yuks. It's a film about the complications of family, aging, coming of age, and illness....in other words, it's a very intimate look at real life.

Keaton left her Annie Hall ticks/wardrobe/affectations at home and turned in a great performance. Streep could take lessons.....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Small but powerful movie
Review: This movie should have been a bigger hit than it was. The entire cast is fantastic, but special mention must go to Leonardo, Keaton and Gwen Verdon, for creating characters which break your heart and make you happy to be alive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Marvin's Room" is a touching family film!
Review: I would recommend this movie for anyone who thinks their family is a little screwed up. In "Marvin's Room", there's a conventional mother, a seventeen-year-old pyromaniac, a man who's been dying for twenty years, a dotty old woman, and a woman who is dying of leukemia and hasn't seen her only sister for 17 years. In fact, the only normal character in this movie is a sweet ten-year-old boy named Charlie. Despite the dysfunctionality, "Marvin's Room" is a very good, very original story that will put a tear on your face and a smile on your lips.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Great Acting...
Review: this movie was great. it contained great acting on the part of meryl streep diane keaton and leonardo dicaprio. l.d. plays a young promaniac who gets sent to a mental hospital for burning down his house and half of the neighborhood. m.s plays l.d.'s mom, who just out of cosmotology school, is stressed out as she tries to take care of l.d. and his younger brother. d.k. plays m.s's sister who is diagnosed with cancer. meryl, leo and his younger brother head down to Florida to get tested for a transplant for diane. marvin plays meryl and diane's father who has had a stroke. this movie is a little depressing at the end but its' worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb and excellent
Review: Hank's story is very ordinary. But Leonardo's performance together with the other casts make the film very extraordinary and superb. The book is well-plotted to the point that it's very exciting as if you can't stop reading. It's very touching to the point that I can't stop myself from sweating! The film is also very good. The casts make the story alive! END
