    Happy and Sad

    This is a great movie with a truly moving story. The movie is cast brilliantly and is both say and extremely funny at times a real one for all the family. It certainly deserves a higher rating. It's lovely to see a family movie of this quality with a real story

    Underrated!

    I liked the lightness of the approach chosen by the director who deals with a serious and delicate subject: an old man, recently widowed and suffering from the Alzheimer's disease, joins his son's house, with his daughter-in-law and grand daughter. A lightness but definitely not superficiality, as in some of Woody Allen's movies. With a trio of divine actors who energize the movie. First at all Nick Nolte and Emily Mortimer are both excellent. And then Matt Dillon who is unjustly cataloged with movies for decerebrated teenage girls. Without forgetting Sophie Lane Nolte, Jacqueline Bisset and Eric Roberts.

    2,9/10?!!? Clearly underrated!

    Far away from the original movie

    Oh man, what can I say... This movie is far far away from the German original despite the fact that both movies have the same director and good actors :( I don't know what the heck went wrong making this movie but if you have the choice, watch the original movie.

    A beautiful film

    This film is very underrated! It is genuinely beautiful, with Nick Nolte playing his part wonderfully. It is a touching story about dementia that manages to be funny, emotional, and heart-warming all at the same time. I highly recommend it.

    Better than other reviews say.

    I went to see this despite the poor rating it has. In my opinion it deserves more than a 2.9 rating. People need to stop comparing it to the original film because it's not the original film it is it's own version. I found it very moving and touching. Although a bit cheesy at times and occasionally poor acting from supporting cast (the main character with Alzheimer's very good), I enjoyed it and glad I went to see it. Insight into what Alzheimer's is like and important factual information learnt whilst watching movie.

    • Trivia
      According to the German Newspaper "SPIEGEL," the government film funding spent 5.17 million U.S. dollars on this film. It had just 6,388 viewers in German movie theaters during the first two weeks, resulting in a revenue of 65'000 U.S. dollars. In contrast, the German-language original of 2014 was that year's most successful film in German cinemas, with more than seven million viewers during the entire run time. The government film funding was, among others factors, conditional on a release in German cinemas.
