It's usually in my top 5

Rating: 9/10 (19 September 2004)

This is one of my more favored films. The two leading ladies really capture you. Anthony Hopkins is also a pretty classy actor (though why he did the Chris Rock movie is beyond me). Brad is okay, but mostly I think just eye candy.
Yes, this is a remake, please do get over that. They happen, let them stand on their own merit, and forgive them when they try to recycle too much of the original. For me the story wasn't about death the character, but about Hopkins' character. I'd probably have put the title of the movie something closer to "A Life's Worth" -- that's what I took from it.
Yah, it is long too. So? What're you doing with that extra 30-60 minutes of your life the movie took, writing a gripe on IMDb? LOL!
I also do not do the tears for a movie bit, I think three have ever done it. And this is one of them, and its the rare one that can do it to me repeatedly. Not always, but sometimes. Maybe its the father story and my own personal experience.
