I'll start off by saying I liked this film. Yes, stone
me to death or whatever, but I felt this film was rather decent in all respects. While I was surprised by the more dramatic tone to the film, the drama proved to be a welcomed surprise. It's a bit interesting to see virtually the entire Douglas family involved in this movie, which makes watching the interaction between the characters feel rather eerie. However, it was good to see Kirk Douglas in a movie again, and it only seemed fitting he do it with much of his extended family. Heart warming in many parts, it's not as bad of a movie as many critics made it out to be.
