DVD Reviews of Oprah Winfrey Presents Mitch Albom's for One More Day

DVD Review: love Mitch Albom's books and adaptation movies
Summary: 5 Stars

I have all of Albom's books and most of his movies - love them

DVD Review: We all need a second chance
Summary: 5 Stars

Had read the book before watching the movie and was not dissapointed. A grat representation of a great book.

DVD Review: Must see for everyone!
Summary: 5 Stars

I read the book before I saw this movie. I normally do one or the other. I am so glad I did both this time. I laughed. I cried. I got angry. An emotional roller coaster. Ellen Burstyn was fabulous! Mitch Albom is one of my favorites and I would recommend that every one see this moving, insightful film. This is now part of my collection of his adapted DVDs.

DVD Review: For one more day
Summary: 4 Stars

Great movie, bad casting. Pretty close to the book in events. I suggest you read the book first, then watch movie, to get vitual images. Author's other two books, where casted much better. Left me wanting to know why they picked this actor as the main character? Still, anything related to Mitch Albom is exception and true. Worth watching.Every adult child should read and watch this movie. Highlights a mother's selflessness love for her children.

DVD Review: Predictable
Summary: 2 Stars

If you like movies where you read the back cover and can almost predict the entire screenplay, this one is for you. It is NOT a challenging film. Its a shame, because the premise of spending one more day with a deceased loved one is a potentially rich theme. However, this film makes no attempt to be anything more than entertainment suited for the lifetime channel. The attempts to tug on the heart strings are way too blatant and cheesy.

There is one positive note, however. When you see Chick as a young ball player in the minor leagues and on the Mets, you should get a decent laugh. He looks absolutely ridiculous. The baseball scenes are some of the worst I have ever seen; so bad in fact its funny.

Description of Oprah Winfrey Presents Mitch Albom's for One More Day

FOR ONE MORE DAY (DVD MOVIE)

For One More Day revolves around reunions: producer Oprah Winfrey with author Mitch Albom (Tuesdays with Morrie) and actors Michael Imperioli with Ellen Burstyn (The Five People You Meet in Heaven). Mostly, it reunites a son with his mother. In this smaller-scale follow-up, alcoholic ex-baseball player Charles "Chick" Benetto (Imperioli) relates his story to a writer (Emily Wickersham, Imperioli's Sopranos co-star). Nine years before, he attempted suicide after his estranged wife, Catherine (Cara Seymour), neglected to invite him to their daughter's wedding. Delirious after an auto accident, he wishes he could've spent one more day with his late mother. A visit to their old house brings back childhood memories (Imperioli's son, Vadim, plays Benetto as a boy). The next thing he knows, Posey (Burstyn) appears before him, looking just as she did the last time he saw her. Benetto wonders if she's a ghost or a delusion. While they reminisce, the narrative shuffles between the three time periods (Samantha Mathis plays the young Posey). Benetto remembers the way his mother doted and his father, Len (Scott Cohen), dispensed the discipline. He also recalls turning against Posey when their marriage went south. Loosely inspired by It's a Wonderful Life and originally broadcast during the holiday season, Albom's adaptation argues that it's never too late to change and that no one ever really knows their parents. The multi-layered structure confuses as first, but For One More Day makes perfect sense by the end, and Imperioli and Burstyn create a convincing mother-son relationship. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
