This film is full of old fashioned family values and love., 22 April 2001
Author: shellyjim from Cincinnati, OH

Those who think it a tripe and shallow movie are too young to remember when families were real and full of love, truth and morality. Ellen Barkin holds her own with the powerful cast of James Cagney and Art Carney. The film brings back reality of what true love and family means.The comedy and one liners are great.
