I found this to be a really touching, sensitive film. Morrie's words of wisdom will stay with me for a long time. Thank you to everyone concerned in the making of this film, beautifully acted and highlighted the benefits of playing life as it is. Morrie was a true star. A real coach. So often actors pay lip service to the theme of the play, that is why they are good actors. In this case I got the feeling that I was there, that the events were happening in front of my eyes, so sensitive was the fine tuning of each character. So often these issues are swept under the carpet and we distance ourselves from pain. This film, a work of art, was a lesson to us all to live for today. Celebrate our lives in this beautiful world. Every moment is precious.

If you have read Mitch Albom's book, like I had, you will not be at all disappointed. Jackson has done a tremendous job of transposing a truly wonderful story into film. Albom portrays the relationship between a young man (himself) and his mentor (Morrie Schwartz). The film transpires through the last few weeks of Morrie's life, and vividly recreates the final lessons of the former professor, in the throes of Lou Gehrigs disease. As one imagines how heart-warming it must have been for Albom to experience such a relationship first-hand, we can only try to draw from his inspiration and the tales conveyed in the film. A truly beautiful story - 10/10.I strongly recommend that you read the book.

The movie has successfully showed the viewpoint of Professor Morrie about how we should live our lives, and the attitude that we should have when we are facing challenges. Even though Professor Morrie has left the world for more than 7 years, his message continues to be relevant. I was shocked by his clarity and insightful answers to some of the life questions.

I and my wife liked everything about this movie. The actors seemed well chosen. The acting was sensitive and remarkable. The filming was one of those you like with soft warm colors, yet clear, with asides of things like beautiful autumn leaves and rain on windows. Whether a Jack Lemon fan or not you should appreciate him in this. I've read the non-fiction book and the movie follows it well; whether you've read the book or not you should find this movie touching and rewarding.
