I was surprised I didn’t see a thread on this. I saw it last night and enjoyed it quite a bit. Did someone already make a thread discussing this and I just can’t find it via search?
Good performances by both Nicholson and Freeman, not Oscar good, but well done. Sean Hayes (Will and Grace) had a nice part as well though it was pretty brief.
I enjoyed the story though. As cliche as it was in parts it was still touching and reflective. It tiptoed around some of the harder themes associated with death though and it played off more as a movie about friendship and the value of life choices. Not to say this was a bad thing, it’s what made the movie quite enjoyable, but I had expected something a bit more morbid. Instead I had quite a few more laughs than I expected.
Has anyone else gotten a chance to see this yet?
