Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This movie delivers such an amazing message about life without being predictable. So refreshing to see something that hasn't been done before yet still is so captivating. Very rare to see movies that can bond such drastic age groups of individuals and to do it in such a pure and genuine way. I fell in love with All of the characters, you could really feel all of their emotions (both the good and the bad). This is a story that will touch home for many and is done in such a tasteful way. One of the best movies I have seen in years - recommended it to all of my friends! Absolutely fabulous!

I loved the movie so much. Great acting!!! It is an amazing story that is told in a perfect way. The movie makes you live and feel with main characters!!! If you see it once you will want to see it again. Ithought Seymour Cassel and Adrienne Barbeau were wonderful together. Great great great picture!!! Cast is amazing!!!! It is a wonderful interpretation of a story:))) Every time I watch the movie I live every single minute of the movie. It is a great movie if you want to watch with your second half. The movie is full of emotions. It is very romantic!!! Love love love the movie!!!!!!!!!! I will recommend it to everyone!!!!!!! Enjoy guys !!!!!!

There aren't that many low budget movies out there that neither look nor feel cheap, but this certainly is one of them. The movie doesn't offer huge climaxes, or surprises, but rather offers a nice flow that knows how to take you with it.You'll get to see a snapshot of the life of an old man and all the things that influence him. Sounds boring, but in fact, it is a very interesting character-heavy film. The persons are very believable and you'll soon forget that you're watching actors. This is basically the highest achievement a movie can reach. Seeing that this was delivered by such a small production is quite impressive. I was surprised to see LeVar Burton's name flashing up as the director in the credits. He sure did a great job on this one.If you like movies that revolve around real life stories like "About Schmidt", then you might like this movie. I sure do. In fact, I can't really point much out that I would consider sub-standard, bad acting, or plot holes, so this one gets a 9/10.

This movie wasn't shot with a big budget and Brangelina type cast members. The story line is direct, simple and easy to follow. The cast members made it believable and memorable. Like Dickens showing us the way with his character, Scrooge, this story reminds us that it's never too late open our hearts to the world around us, and mends our ways.Unrelated to the story: I was a Tekkie for years through various incarnations of the show. Who knew that Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) could direct such an honest, sincere film? Maybe being in front of the camera has its benefits as it seemed the cast was allowed in interpret the script and give genuine performances.
