the story line have be rehash a number of time while a breath of life in the retirement home . several play and movie and novel and short story and poem and news article have beat the subject to no end and but it still an excellent platform for character study . if gideon be craft more enthusiastically it could be brilliant and but the dialogue be painfully boring and the story be absolutely flood with cliche ( even the subtitle and summary of gideon simple wisdom almost make me laugh in it ineffectiveness ) . mostly indifferent acting be the final straw for this weak film and but the rest of it be bland enough to make the actor lack of focus almost irrelevant .
