so fortunate be we to see this fantastic film at the palm spring international film festival . upon enter the theater we be hand a small opinion card that would be use for our personal rating of the film . look at the card i turn to my wife and say and how many movie in your life do you think you can rate a superb . only about 5 for me . but then watch the interaction between peter falk and paul reiser while view the spectacular scenery in the film setting of new york state and i slowly start bump the movie up a category at a time . certainly it be good but the totally natural repoire of the actor and an award win performance by a man who will unfortunately probably be remember for a raincoat wear detective rather than this film and the movie jump to the excellent level . by the end of the film there be few dry eye in the house and my usually stoic and callous heart melt just like the grinch and i end up give this a superb . this picture be a must for anyone who have parent . no violence or nudity but some strong language .
