Walter Matthau and Ossie Davis are the best reasons to see this Herb Gardner (A Thousand Clowns) comedy-drama about bickering, octogenarian companions who meet daily in Manhattan's Central Park. Spinning fictions, pushed around by yuppie scum, brutalized by extortionists and drug dealers, the two men go right on with their benchwarming rituals despite the entreaties of family and logic. Gardner deserves a passing grade for his directing effort, though he sabotages a couple of ripe opportunities to let his two great lead actors intensify the emotion of the piece on their own terms. With Martha Plimpton, Amy Irving, and Craig T. Nelson. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - I'm Not Rappaport
I cannot review this movie that was ordered on 2/9/07, but still has not shipped as of today, 3/12/07. The 1-star rating is based on not having the movie to review.
Rating:  - Great movie....
This is a very good movie, one that you can watch many times and still feel good about it. The story is both funny and at times sad. Actors Matthau and Davis are brilliant in thier roles as two seniors holding thier own.
Rating: - Perfect
This movie manages to make you laugh and touch you deeply as many times as you won't think is possible during the two hours. Is truth always best? Can you still be romantic and feel deeply when you are old? How do you choose to see the world? You will be asking yourself all these questions and might be surprised at the answers.
Rating: - This is a must see!
They passed this movie in cable and I just saw it for Mr.Matthau but when I finished watching it I was amazed how great this movie is,I don't even know if it did it to the theaters here in Mexico...I think Alex Lora of a great group called El Tri appears.A touching story and one of the greatest movies ever made.Buy it!
Rating: - Want a good belly-laugh? This one's for you....
We couldn't stop laughing! Two old codgers sitting on a park bench getting stoned...laughs are sure to follow. Tackles some big issues, too, although true to life, no big solutions are found. Aging, the homeless, drugs, violence. All this and more can be seen through the witty eyes of Walter Matheau and Ossie Davis. I'm buying this video so that I can watch it again and again!
