Product Description
Movie DVD
Amazon.com essential video
This warmhearted TV offering based on Mitch Albom's nonfiction bestseller of the same name dives right into the action, with Morrie (Jack Lemmon) collapsing within the first three minutes. Then it's cut to Mitch's hectic life as a sports columnist cum television host and long-term, often long-distance boyfriend. But this Mick Jackson-directed film slows considerably after the introductions as former student Mitch (Hank Azaria) learns his beloved professor is dying of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). He reconnects with his mentor and begins learning from him all over again, this time about life. Oprah Winfrey produced this 88-minute film, and her renowned touchy-feely quality is prominent as Mitch learns to love both Morrie and his own girlfriend. Azaria, better known for somewhat goofy roles (The Birdcage, the dogwalker on TV's Mad About You) conveys an intelligent, if edgy dignity, and double Oscar winner Lemmon turns in his usual exquisite performance, giving even the most obvious moments touches of subtlety. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Willie Montgomery (Denmark,South Carolina)
I sat through the movie and asked one question.When will a cure for ALS be found?I hope soon.I met someone who had it and I was scared in hoping I didn't get it.This movie was too powerful to watch and I would recommend it very well.The casting was perfect and I saw Five People you Meet in Heaven and I want to see more of Mitch's books get made into movies.

Sandra K. OConnor (Waco, TX)
Excellent presentation on "lessons for life" from a dying man. The story is true & Jack Lemmon does a superb job of portraying Morrie Schwartz, the title character. Very close to the best-selling book. I had my high school classes read the book and then watch the movie. Despite the fact that Morrie is teaching the lessons while awaiting his death, the story is not depressing as one might think. It celebrates life and thus is uplifting. Bits of real life humor causes us to take deeper looks at ourselves and our society.

Beautiful movie, great acting. The claritiy of the lessons are lost a bit in the movie compared to the book.
