Who Said Children Should Be Seen and Not Heard?
This warm and sentimental movie brings to the forefront of our thoughts that as adults we become so enmeshed in the engrossing and all consuming details of day to day life, that we sometimes cannot see what the imminent event about to occur right in front of us is.

BORING
This is one of the dullest movies I've ever seen. A couple of the chicks are hot, and Kevin Spacey's good as the struggling comedian, but who cares? No story and nothing to keep you interested.

Who Said Children Should Be Seen and Not Heard?, Juil 16 2004
This warm and sentimental movie brings to the forefront of our thoughts that as adults we become so enmeshed in the engrossing and all consuming details of day to day life, that we sometimes cannot see what the imminent event about to occur right in front of us is. Burt Lancaster portrays a loving father and grandfather who has had time to reflect on his life, and as a result, has expressed to his grandchildren his admiration for the Viking tradition of saying goodbye to their loved one as they pass on to Valhalla. His grandchildren take the time to understand his respect for this rich tradition, while their parents are too busy planning a birthday for the patriach. McCauley Caulkin is wonderful as the youngest grandson. He has a special relationship with his grandfather that is telepathic at times. Watch this movie with your children, and let them know that the death of a loved one is a time of sadness, but it is also a time of great reflection.

Unique!, Déc 21 2001
Although the story lines are a bit busy in this fine film, the work turned in by Burt Lancaster and MacCaulay Culkin are truly worth seeing. The viewer is immediately aware of a bond between grandfather and grandson. Mac displays that rare talent of his, in this early film--what a fine portrayal and what an opportunity for him to be able to play opposite Mr. Lancaster.

A rich family movie, Mai 9 2001
This movie is a fine ensemble performance. There is the afther, Burt Lancaster, who is reaching the end of a full life. His children and their families are joining him for a birthday bash that will be the talk of the town. Yet this isn't about a birthday party, it is about connections.Lancasters children are all enmeshed in thier own lives and families. But it is the children who are closest to Lancaster's charecter. He tells them stories of Vikings and valhalla and the kids take not and remember. Lancaster expresses a final wish for what to do with his body after he dies. He doesn't tell his children, maybe sensing their opposition, so instead he tells the grandchildren - maybe not expecting them to do it but convey his wish to their parents. There is comedy, despair, anger and sadness throughout the film. It doesn't dwell on one particular emotional level, rather it touches them and moves on, as we all do in life. The conclusion is a remarkable combination of humor, suspense, sadness and togetherness. It is worth the whole movie to just watch the last fifteen minutes. I recommend this to anyone with families and to those who want to watch a well crafted film production. It is a keeper for any video library.

Great!, Jui 14 2000
I only saw this movie because Kevin Spacey was in it and I adore him. So as I watched it I got so involved in the story. This movies was funny, sad and loving. Kevin's struggling comedian, Dwayne, was by far the best, although Blue is great too. Kevin uses humor, and wit to steal the show from all the other satrs!

a merging of the gentle and touching and funny, Janv. 23 2000
few movies manage to merge the above-mentioned 3 elements. bill forsyth was perhaps best at it among recent directors, and it's interesting to note that lancaster (star of LOCAL HERO) is also the star of this film. this is one of those films that if you "get it", you'll love it; if you don't, well, later for you...

Ah, Burt!, Janv. 16 2000
If the words elegant and eloquence strike a chord with you, then view this film for Burt Lancaster's fine and lasting gift of both. Watch the ending first as Burt richly, if too briefly, narrates a glorious ending to a less than glorious life - then rewind and watch the unwinding of a story that ended so touchingly - you will lose nothing of the story through that process. In this story that seems so much about family, there comes shining through the triumph of the solitary man - a man truly in the world but not of it. And in his grandchildren - not yet tainted and corrupted by convention - there is the hope that compromise and accomodation will be be held at bay for yet another hour. Did we ever tell Burt thank you? Tell him now.

A loving and realistic view of "family.", Sep 28 1999
Par Un client
This is a snapshot of the American family. Children and grandchildren attend what turns out to be Levi's last birthday party, and bring along all the baggage from childhood, and their current lives. It is; however, baggage you can relate to because it hits so close to home. In the end, it is truly about what we all long for: happiness, love, and family.

The epitome of life and death in modern society, Sep 7 1999
Par Un client
Burt Lancaster's portrayal of a dying patriarch provides hope for those concerned with the decline of the family and the loss of individuality. The quintessential setting on Long Island appeals to those attracted to the sea while attempting to savor the remnants of life. The perfect film for self-reflection and hope for a gratifying end to life on this earth. Required viewing!
