  Poignant Masterpiece!
  
  Incredibly poignant but an unmissable movie. The casting is 5 star. Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson make it a must-see.

  Makes you think.
  
  I did not have much hope of enjoying this film. I thought it was going to be boring and try too hard to be funny. I was wrong and i am glad i watched it.
