Emotional, rewarding movie, 25 May 1999
Author: Nat Williams from West Frankfort, Illinois

"Tribute" is a wonderful tear-jerker about a father and his estranged son. Benson is good, though his character may be a bit over-the-top cynical. But as usual, Jack Lemmon provides a textbook example of acting without seeming like he's acting, the mark of a great performer.
