Fantastic movie about the passion of being truly alive

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 1999)

I went to see this on a friend's earnest recommendation, never thinking that a man's mid-life crisis and sexual fixation on his daughter's friend would make for a particularly fulfilling experience. (That was what the trailers led me to believe the film was about.) It was actually much more profound than that, funny, thoroughly well acted and thoroughly well written, with believable, multi-dimensional characters, not predictable, very touching, and very thought provoking. See it even if you think you might not be very interested. Chances are you won't be disappointed and you'll come out with a deeper appreciation for life.
