December 1, 2008Henry Fonda is so crotchety and grumbly and yet so adorable, like an old hounddog. Katherine Hepburn is so strong and caring. I wasn't as impressed by Jane's performance in this one.

August 23, 2006This is the perfect movie to watch with family and friends. It is a very moving and touching story about the love of a family that have not always been perfect but still hold strong. Jane Fonda and her real life father Henry Fonda star as a father and daughter who have never understood each other and are always hurting each others feelings. They go through years of never connecting only to find that they have more in common than they realize.
