I have always liked Kirk Douglas and to see him now after he had a stroke is sad but that's the way life is. He is not afraid to let the public know that he is alive and doing the best he can. I can associate with this movie because I had a stroke 10 years ago and thankfully fully recovered. This movie might be a little thin in spots but to see him and also Lauren Bacall is a movie-going treat. I hope that he does a lot more movies.

OK, there's no Thelma. But it's a road flick with Kirk Douglas post-stroke still acting rings around everyone. And Lauren Bacall for icing...Wife and I just watched it after our first real winter storm so far here in colorado. I give it an 8 or 9. Right up there with "Waking Ned Devine"..

If you and your special one want to sit down on the couch and watch a movie just for the hell of it, pull up the popcorn and watch this one! All the acting is great, and the story-line is more meaningful than most of the stuff that comes out of Hollywood! It's nice to see that stuff like this is getting made. Kirk Douglas is an incredible actor, and even with the stroke, he works out nicely in his role.

The movie is super and very sentimental. I especially love the chemistry on the screen between Lauren and Kirk. It really is touching and makes the movie unique. A very interesting story plot --kind of a chick flick FOR MEN and women believe it or not. Great movie!!! :)
