This DVD was a surprise for me. The actors were well known and loved through other movies, but this movie had such realism and compassion that one could see just how the lives of these characters evolved over the years. The father, Peter Falk, and son, played by Paul Reiser, were very believable in their interactions with one another as they dealt with past history as a family. It was one of the best DVD's I have seen in awhile. It is a great way to spend an evening together with your spouse or loved ones.

Absolutely delightful film about family and the often times complicated ability to simply communicate. Peter Falk is, as always, a cantankerous old "fart" (you will see what I mean) who has this one track mindedness that can easily be taken wrong. He and son, beautifully portrayed by Paul Reiser, finally spend quality time together while on a road trip and actually get to know each other. Mom, Olympia Dukakis, finally shows up near the movies end but is a strong presence throughout the story. Long story short, this is a beautifully written and acted story about family!

A sweet film, with honest portrayals of relationships and buried questions. Solid acting, with good actors. Fun and touching. Glad I saw it.
