DVD Reviews of Tuesdays with Morrie

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.

DVD Review: Jack Lemmon Always Gets 5 Stars
Summary: 3 Stars

...So there's nothing more to say about his role in this adaptation of Mitch Albom's book. Lemmon saves the day on this production, but I hate to say the rest isn't as good, thus the 3 stars here. Don't get me wrong though. I got the "red eyes" in all the programmed places.

DVD Review: Amazing movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an amazing movie. From the first 10 minutes of the movie, you know what will happen, but the idea of the movie is the real-life lessons that are taught.

DVD Review: Tuesdays With Morrie
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great movie. It will have you reaching for the tissues and still be glad that you have watched it. Jack Lemon does a terrific job as Morrie, a professor at Brandeis University that is diagnosed with ALS disease and the impact that he has on Mitch's life. All throughout the movie he tries to remain upbeat and yet he tells us of the struggles he has in the middle of the night with his impending death.

DVD Review: A Great Story that Everyone Must See.
Summary: 5 Stars

Tuesdays With Morrie:

The movie was really good, as was the book. Though like in most situations, I recommend reading the book before seeing them movie. You won't regret reading or seeing, this one.

The book is a great read, one that will keep you turning the pages and will stay with you the rest of your life, altering the way you view life.

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
