I'm a big fan of Jack Lemmon's dramatic roles, but not this one., 24 February 2001

Author: (jmilliso@heidelberg.edu) from marion, oh

I'm a big fan of Jack Lemmon's dramatic roles but not this one. The movie is about Lemmon and his estranged son played by Robby Benson, who has a deep hatred for his father. After learning Lemmon is dying, Benson tries to make thing right with his father. 125 minutes of Benson talking about how bad of a father Lemmon was, combined with Lemmon's corny jokes, does not not equal a good movie
