“If youu0026#39;re old, life isnu0026#39;t over. Thatu0026#39;s the crux of the story. It has a big heart and it eventually wins you over.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSure itu0026#39;s slow. Yes itu0026#39;s pretty unrealistic. And it can be cheesy at times, but for the most part, itu0026#39;s a touching story of trying to fulfill your dream at any age.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRichard Dreyfuss, as always, is great. His performance holds it all together, though there are some other good performances too.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLeading a fulfilling life is important but itu0026#39;s not all about your dreams. Itu0026#39;s those who surround us who make it truly worthwhile. Ultimately, itu0026#39;s about family.”
