Summary: 5 Stars
I sat through the movie and asked one question.When will a cure for ALS be found?I hope soon.I met someone who had it and I was scared in hoping I didn't get it.This movie was too powerful to watch and I would recommend it very well.The casting was perfect and I saw Five People you Meet in Heaven and I want to see more of Mitch's books get made into movies.DVD Review: Introspective on Life
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent presentation on "lessons for life" from a dying man. The story is true & Jack Lemmon does a superb job of portraying Morrie Schwartz, the title character. Very close to the best-selling book. I had my high school classes read the book and then watch the movie. Despite the fact that Morrie is teaching the lessons while awaiting his death, the story is not depressing as one might think. It celebrates life and thus is uplifting. Bits of real life humor causes us to take deeper looks at ourselves and our society. DVD Review: Watch DVD before reading the book
Summary: 4 Stars
Beautiful movie, great acting. The claritiy of the lessons are lost a bit in the movie compared to the book.
Description of Tuesdays with Morrie
Based on a true-life story, TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE is a loving memoir to a man whose lessons on life have much to teach us about ourselves. Academy Award(R)-winner Jack Lemmon (Best Actor, 1974, SAVE THE TIGER) delivers an outstanding performance as Morrie Schwartz, the Brandeis University professor upon whom the best-selling book is based. Hank Azaria (GODZILLA) plays Mitch, an accomplished journalist so driven by his job, he has little time or energy left for anything else. One night, Mitch happens to catch Morrie's appearance on a national news program and learns his old professor is battling Lou Gehrig's disease. After the telecast, Mitch contacts Morrie, and what starts as a visit turns into a pilgrimage as Mitch opens his heart to the lessons Morrie has to teach him. As the bond grows between these two men, Mitch learns that professional commitments don't mean anything without the love of family and friends. Sure to inspire, TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE may just change your views on the meaning of life ... forever.This warmhearted TV offering based on Mitch Albom's nonfiction bestseller of the same name dives right into the action, with Morrie (Jack Lemmon) collapsing within the first three minutes. Then it's cut to Mitch's hectic life as a sports columnist cum television host and long-term, often long-distance boyfriend. But this Mick Jackson-directed film slows considerably after the introductions as former student Mitch (Hank Azaria) learns his beloved professor is dying of ALS (Lou?Gehrig's disease). He reconnects with his mentor and begins learning from him all over again, this time about life. Oprah Winfrey produced this 88-minute film, and her renowned touchy-feely quality is prominent as Mitch learns to love both Morrie and his own girlfriend. Azaria, better known for somewhat goofy roles (The Birdcage, the dogwalker on TV's Mad About You) conveys an intelligent, if edgy dignity, and double Oscar winner Lemmon turns in his usual exquisite performance, giving even the most obvious moments touches of subtlety. --Kimberly Heinrichs
