How can you go wrong spending the afternoon watching one of Hollywood's biggest actors. Frank Goode (Robert De Niro) finds that after loosing his wife he has little connection to his four grown children (Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, and Sam Rockwell). Yes, I said four... however, the whereabouts of his son Jack is just the focal point of all the small lies, omissions, and deceits we all tell to protect those we love. Frank, not in the best of health, is disappointed when all his children cancel a visit to their childhood home so against doctor's orders he sets off on bus and train to reconnect with each of them. Great acting tells this family story with great heart and honesty. This drama is worth the ticket.Check it out... Robert De Niro flicks worth borrowing from the library: Awakenings, Midnight Run, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, 1900, Goodfellas, The Deer Hunter and The Untouchables, to name just a few. The Nesmith Library owns 18.
