Rating:  - PROBABLY JULIANNE MOORE'S "BEST"/DOWN-TO-EARTH MOVIE!!!
This movie will make you laugh and cry. The message is so beautiful,i.e., how deeply people can love and care for one another. It's so refreshing, and makes you want to go out and be a better person, especially, to those most important to you - your family. Great family movie! Great message of what is truly important in life. This movie should be re-released. Acting, Peter Falk, Sweeney, soundtarck, and cinematogrophy all 'tops.' Especially with all that's going on today; Roomates will rejuvinate ... Read More
Rating: - Room Mates
I ordered this movie because Peter Faulk is one of my very favorites...hands down. This movie is a treasure.....did not seem contrived...totally natural. Falk's voice is very soothing to me and he shows how it is possible to age in style. A very good movie to watch over and over. Thank YOU!!!
Rating: - Great movie
I've seen this movie twice, but each time it touched me. I agree with previous review that this movie is overlooked and underapreciated. This movie is about simple, hardworking Polish immigrant grandfather who takes responsiblity for raising his grandson. His ways, quirks,strong influence on granson to better himself and strong love that makes grandfather and grandson sacrifice for each other, love and care that touches heart and makes us see what life is really all about.

Rating: - An underrated, great family movie
It's a shame that this movie's largely overlooked by critics and audience alike. However, many people who happen to "stumble" across this movie will be pleasantly surprised. OK, I'm biased because I'm in the movie. But as an avid movie-goer, I have to say this is one of the better family movies in the past 10 years. The relationships are real and touching. Even though I knew -- from the filming -- how it was going to end, the tears that came down my cheeks caught me by surprise. I wish more people would see ... Read More
