i have doubt about this movie the moment it start . i record it because it be rat highly in the tv listing and starred matthau and who i always like and but during the opening credit bucolic scene of matthau play with a little boy to the movie unutterably treacly score ( the sort of thing you hear in tv movie of the 70 ) i think and oh god and what be i in for . matthau windbag character also instantly turn me off . so i come here to see what people think and and saw one glowing review after another . and that inspire me to watch another hour before give up . besides the truly abysmal score and kotch suffers from a surfeit of annoy character . kotch himself be genial but tedious and his son be bland and his daughter in law play the requisite bitch . the girl he eventually help be about as annoy a the title character . i can not figure out why people like this movie so much . i think it a movie for people who like comforter with teddy bear quilt into them or something . it simple mind and just plain dull .
