Amazon.co.uk Review
If the idea of an Oprah Winfrey-produced film detailing the last days of a dying man and his inspirational effect on those left behind sounds a little cloying, ITuesdays with Morrie/I will be a rather pleasant surprise. While the presentation of this true story is certainly very American in tone, and it was obviously made for television (the points where it faded to commercial breaks are clear), it's still a surprisingly satisfying piece of work. The credit for that can firmly be laid at the door of Jack Lemmon, appearing in what was to be his last film. He excels as the terminally ill college professor Morrie Schwartz, determined to use his passing as a medium for teaching others about life. Still showing signs of the spark that made the movies of his heyday so memorable, Lemmon is also capable of bringing a magnificent pathos to the role. Co-star Hank Azaria is a more-than-equal foil, instilling his character with a growing awareness of self that blossoms before the viewer. Yes, at times it is a little too schmaltzy for its own good, but ITuesdays with Morrie/I is a film capable of visiting emotional extremes with ease.p BOn the DVD:/B A very scanty package, with the usual scene access and Dolby Digital stereo accompanied by a text-only resume of the movie and the briefest of biographies of its cast--in Lemmon's case a massively ineffectual effort.--IPhil Udell/I

 I'm Impressed! September 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Morrie was mentally strong, though he suffered from the terminal disease, ALS(=amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), I'd say. He was eager to tell the meaning of life to his ex-student, Mitch Albom, who is also the author of Tuesday's With Morrie. I would only worry about my terminal disease,if I were in Morrie's shoes. I mean, all I could do would be to be apathetic or pessimistic about my future. " The truth is once you learn how to die, you learn how to live." - that'd be the last thing I could say.br / Certainly, it WAS sad that Morrie passed away because he was respected by lots of his students and graduates. However, every Tuesday when Morrie told Mitch the meaning of life must be very precious memories for Mitch.
The Wonderful Tuesdays with Morrie. May 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
They picked the right man in Jack Lemmon to play this part from the word go!! I love how his eyes light up and his smile can melt your heart. This is a true story and I am so grateful I stumbled across this because of my love for Mitch Alboms books. This wonderful character Morrie could (and still does) teach us all a thing or two about living. You are likely to cry, my friend and I did but ye Gods I'm so glad I watched it. I'm now reading the book. I learned today the film is now discontinued, so for goodness sake catch it while you still can!! Its worth every penny.
Read the book, now watch the film, you won't be disappointed ....... May 11, 2008

I read the book before I saw the film and the book was one of the most moving yet inspirational books I have ever read, so I just had to get the film. Although this true story is sad as it's about a dying man reminising and reviewing the meaning of his life by exploring the importance of friendship, family, love and support, it also has many amusing lines which shows there can be humour and dignity while facing your own mortality. This film is moving, touching, funny, humbling and sad but it is also very inspiring. At the end of the film although you will probably be shedding tears, I can promise you that you will also be feeling uplifted, appreciating everything that is good in your life instead of dwelling on anything that isn't. Morrie's lessons on life will live on ......
You'll watch this more than once! July 29, 2007

OK if your looking for a movie that will make you jump out of your seat with shock, don't get this one! This will make you sink deeper into your sofa take a look at life.br /If you enjoy movies like "The Legend Of Bagger Vance" you'll love this!br /It's one of the few movies which is almost as good as the book!br /Hope this helps.br /Take care!
A life changing film, A MUST SEE February 18, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
All I say is that all the reviews on this page bar one, say it all.br /Truly a life changing film which I once saw on TV and had to buy to watch again and show others. It really ghits the nail on the head about life and how relationships can shape us and change us for good or bad etc.br /It's a intelligently made film, a vehicle for a life's worth of wisdom and a way to show how if we explore it's examples, we can change and understand the past and future and live life to its full.br /I can't explain, you MUST SEE it, and well if you do you will realise what i am saying. I never usually give review but this is great stuff, and a great performance by Jack Lemon who really does do a cracking job.br /br /as for the only bad review by a guy claled "Mr.McCeltic", well he obviously hasn't seen the film, because if he did he'd have changed his life and taken something from it, or else if he has seen it, well, what can we say, there are people out there who hate good things and despise love and wisdom. There will always be people who say black is white and good is bad... you can't please everyone in today's society and fo course in an age where prisons are full, crime is soaring, etc, of course there will always be people out there for whom great things are 'rubbish', so I wouldn't worry about negative reviews, as if you watch the film you can't disagree with it, unless you have an opposite philosophy.
