....that can wait for dvd release. I don't like saying that,I personally think the film deserves theatre viewing. It is just that if the cast were unknowns,or even less popular actors,it would not have been quite so charming and riveting. Mild on comedy,DeNiro is given the whole of laughable antics. Very heart warming,and an original way to get through and figure out the "unsaids"in this family's dynamic.Very clean.Not for kids or teens,as far as interest factor. I will pay more money in theatres for family friendly and admiriation of cast,but others might balk at theatre prices for a solid,but not very dramatic movie experience.

very very sad...but Deniro awesome

My husband, friends and I went opening day. I loved it, I got it! Robert DeNiro is a favorite of mine and came through as the wonderful mature father, retired day laborer who put his family first. His wife (not in the movie at all except through pictures) was a Stay-at-Home mother going about the business of tending the kids while he made his labor pay off financially for their educations and involvment in their arts as did our mothers and fathers while enjoying leisure with us at home outside work. I very much appreciated that I was not spoon fed the plot. The entire presentation was much like reading a friendly book. It was comfortably ambling through the emotions of discovery as this newly alone father adapts to his role in his children's lives and they in his without the loving intercessions of the mother who allowed him to be the working man/provider in which he found completion because of her abilities to be his mirror partner in the lives of their children.

Thought provoking, not a light-hearted holiday tale as we expected. Both my husband and I cried. The meandering details tie together nicely at the end with the view through the window of David's painting.

This is a outstanding movie. Young need to watch this movie. Old need to watch this movie. I will not spoil it for you. It will tug at your emoutions! Well worth the admission price.
