Upon receiving a call from her leukemia-stricken sister after not speaking with her for two decades, a devil-may-care single mother packs up her two sons--one, a rebellious teen who has spent time in a mental institution--and heads to Florida to reunite with her ailing sibling and their bedridden father. The women's differences in philosophy immediately spark a wrenching confrontation, but help arrives from the most unexpected of sources--the delinquent teen, whose reluctance to accept the family he never knew ultimately melts away when he discovers his aunt's true spirit. An acclaimed drama, adapted by Scott McPherson from his 1990 stage play.

Entertainment Weekly - "...For the performances of Keaton, Streep, and DiCaprio, it's worth putting up with [any flaws]..." -- Rating: B, Sight and Sound - ...It's a film unafraid of emotiveness..., Variety - ...An intimate exploration of family sacrifice....[With] three terrifically gifted performers...
I bought this item because i'm a huge fan of Diane Keaton, the film is heart breaking funny and it shows you how it feels to be needed and loved. Diane is the best actress in this movie, it shows Diane in a different role becoming ill and needing her sister, she plays the part brilliantly she says strong in this film shes a hard working actress. Diane Keaton being in it is the reason i bought it i would recommend if you are a Diane fan like me. She's the best actress out here now.
