About this product

Product Information

This charming tale of a boy's evolving relationship with his grandfather stars Peter Falk as Rocky, a crusty and stubborn old man who raises his grandson, Michael (D.B.Sweeney), after the boy loses his parents at a young age. In 1960s Pittsburgh, Michael grows up under Rocky's watchful eye, eventually becoming a doctor working in Ohio. But when Rocky gets evicted from his apartment of 50 years, Michael has no choice but to let the man move in with him. Much to Rocky's chagrin, the two grown men share Michael's cramped bachelor pad in a touching and hysterical reunion. The old codger wastes no time in creating friction, arguing incessantly with Michael about his lifestyle, including his relationship with girlfriend Beth (Julianne Moore). While Rocky does eventually settle down and begin working at a bakery, his grandson decides to make some significant changes in his life that will affect his grandfather. Despite their generational differences, the two men grudgingly learn valuable lessons from each other in this bittersweet comedy. Peter Falk gives a fabulously diverse performance, aging more than half a century during the duration of the film, which was based on screenwriter Max Apple's real-life experiences captured in the book ROOMMATES: MY GRANDFATHER'S STORY.

It's all about family!
DB Sweeney and Peter Falk were phenomenal in this must see film. Peter Falk plays the role of Rocky, an old Polish man who takes care of his grandson (Sweeney) after the parents had passed away suddenly. Rocky is all about family and shows this trait throughout the film. He's devoted to his grandson Michael, as he grows up. Rocky is also devoted to his love of baking bread and sticking together no matter what and how! I really recommend this film as it has a great plot, excellent acting and a great message that will take over all your emotions!

A Heartwarming Laugh A Minute.
Peter Falk is stellar and D.B. Sweeney plays along with his own type of humor - just like Peter! Julianne Moore plays D.B.'s wife and gets into it with Peter. She is very good. A stellar movie for the family!
