True actors
A beautiful film brilliantly acted.
An emotional ride of the lives of two dying men coming to grips with the end of their lives. Freeman and Nicholson gel together so well as they form a friendship which will leave you with tears in your eyes and a smile on your face. -

I laughed and cried at this film and I would recommend it to all but the most cynical movie lovers. -
