I kind of feel that Billy Crystal did this film in part to get closure with his father (who died when Billy was 15). It's an amazingly good film and shows off the depth of acting Billy Crystal and Alan King can do. They played very well off of each other in this movie.
It's always nice to see JoBeth Williams on the screen, who I've always thought was scrumptious.
A number of the extras who work with Alan King are extras who you've seen in films forever.
**SPOILER**
Whenever I tell people about this, I tell them about the recurring question Billy Crystal asks his father: "Don't you feel like a putz?" The final punchline of the joke is a classic. (If you haven't seen the film, I'm not going to reveal that much--it's very moving and has even made me think of something similar.)
Go see it. You'll sniffle and laugh throughout.
