Surprisingly funny and uplifting
By Justin Berry from Watford, England , 26 Jul 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
It could have been Hollywood cheesy schmaltz, but instead it feels like an independent film with an A-list cast.
All the performances are great. Diane Keaton?s in particular is brilliant as a mother who is trying to keep her family together at all costs even when she faces bad news from her doctor (Robert DeNiro). This film, although tackling what could be a depressing subject, has a lot of comedy in it, and possess a great deal of funny moments along with some very touching ones, resulting in a thoughtful but uplifting film.
Robert DeNiro plays a very different role from those he usually does, and this results in a genuinely very funny (not in a Meet The Parents kind of way), quirky performance.
This film is a must see for anyone who likes films with good performances from all actors. It wasn?t a film I was expecting to like, but after watching it I had to go out and buy it straight away .- Was this review helpful to you?

Worth watching for the acting...
By romeo7 (20 reviews) from London , 05 Aug 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
Quite touching and acting was superb.... I loved it. Yes! the title needs a little clarification by who chose it. I don't agree with those who said there is no story. It is just a standard family life. I don't think they should have elaborated more on the story... It is just a story of a family....- Was this review helpful to you?

Marvins Room-A strange name for this film!
By Bobsview (554 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 24 Jul 2012Wow what a cast! With a cast as strong as this this film should be a perfect 10 but it is sadly just a good film. It is not in the same class as Terms of Endearment but well worth watching. It is a touching film but not a massive tear jerker. The early Rachel Portman score is excellent and Streep as fantastic as ever. Cannot put my finger on what the film is missing but somehow it is not as good as it should be with that cast. It might be that the plot is too thin and predictable. Also as much as I like De Caprio I am not sure his character was well developed enough. He burns his house down but I am not sure it was ever explained why!- Was this review helpful to you?

Mixed opinion on this one
By GregJoy (19 reviews) from Banbury , 25 Apr 2012Great acting but not sure about the story. My wife loved it but in spite of the acting it did nothing for me.- Was this review helpful to you?

Not sure about this one
By Scottiemac (10 reviews) , 27 Oct 2011Ponderous plot and action, for me. I'll have to endure it again to make any judgements, but it might be worth a try.- Was this review helpful to you?
