Familien-Bande: Directed by Peter Yates. With Peter Falk, D.B. Sweeney, Julianne Moore, Ellen Burstyn. An elderly yet young-at-heart man moves in with his grandson and both their lives turn upside-down.

“I find it hard to believe that there are only 16 reviews of this film u0026amp; that of those 16 all but one is positive, yet this film has such a low rating. I like a lot of Peter Falku0026#39;s work. I truly LOVE Columbo. It was a great show that is still watchable due to the acting of Falk u0026amp; the stories. I think the reason I love this film so much is that the character of Rocky somehow reminds me of my own father (who is old enough to be my grandfather) Like Rocky, my father is gruff, stubborn, snores incessantly, u0026amp; loves his family albeit rarely says it. He shows his love with his actions not his words. Now that I have a son of my own u0026amp; have my father living with me I hope that one day my son will be able to appreciate this film as I do.”
