If you want to see a guy's mom suffer slowly, you'll love this movie!


I decided to go to the movies tonight to escape from the difficulties in life including caring for my mother who's dealing with a serious illness.

This movie was sold as a New York guy coming to life. Big mistake.

This movie was sold as a New York guy coming to life.


Had you watched the trailer? It makes the subject of the film pretty obvious.

You hit the nail on the head. I actually lived the scene where everybody is sitting around the deathbed watching Mom die. Relive it? Um...no thank you.

And yes, it was sold as a New York guy coming to life. That's what the trailer made it seem. But, no. There was no redemption in this film, no growth for the protagonist, no change, nothing.

It was just a film about a guy's mom slowly dying.

Who wants to see that? What kind of mind finds that interesting? And why?

Anybody?
