| | Wow! Now it's Hal Holbrook's turn to shine in a new movie! As a older gentleman who is sent off to a nursing home by his son (who's a hot shot lawyer in a big city), he just walks out one day to go back to his home and finds out that a family is living there because his son let them rent the place from him since he's the power of attorney for his dad. Well Mr. Meecham (Holbrook) doesn't take that too well at all. He wants them off his property pronto. What we see is a man who has lost his loving wife, knows he doesn't have a lot of time left on this earth, he's lonely, and he just wants to go home to spend his last moments there however long that may be. But the family especially the father ( in a chilling performance by Ray McKinnon) doesn't think Meecham's got a right to be there. That is the focus of this story for the rest of the movie. I liked this movie better than I thought I would. It's kind of sad though when you think about it. We all don't have a lot of time on this earth really. It's over in a blink of an eye. | |
