Loved It

Rating: 9/10 (11 February 2005)

Well I don't share the 'crying' throughout the movie crowd I can honestly admit to some teary eyes at times.
The movie was very good. I rented it as a surprise for my wife after hearing about it - and then didn't realize she had already read the book and knew about it.
I thought James Garner was great and although a lot of the movie is predictable his care for the aged Ally is great. The way the movie portray's the nursing home's staff deference to him as he cares for her is a big part of the movie.
Being a Canadian I was also impressed with the acting of the two main characters who both hail from Ontario.
My wife also agreed with the previous comments about the movie (although changed from the book) stuck to the original story and was enjoyable.
Another sleeper that I hope will get seen lots by word of mouth.
