De Niro hasn't made a good film since Casino...I guess he is still hanging on for a phone call from his old mate Martin Scorsese (Marty, Marty, why do you prefer young Leo over me nowadays?? lol)
It tugs on the heart strings a bit much, but I really liked it. Good supporting cast and I found it quite sad. My family are the same we've all moved away so one of my parents are bound to face his predicament at some point. It's kind of in the same vein as About Schmidt, depenRAB what kind of movies you're into?
