    A sweet, touching and sentimental film that is a fitting tribute to a much loved and much missed actor. Not such a bad film to end on at all! Azaria also does a fantastic job and should be recognised for his acting talents, he's more than just a voice!

    Made for TV tearjerker that is rather more subtle than most of it's type, Jack Lemmon giving a very sensitive performance as a terminally ill professor giving life lessons to his protege. It's still steeped in sentimentality, but is rather more bearable than most of these kinds o...( read more)f Hallmark moments.

    Though the book was much better this is a very good adaptation of Mutch Albom's book.

    The film veers dangerously close to being sentimental, and the way the moral messages have been done also veer dangerously close to being patronising, but the makers of this film have managed to avoid these things happening. The fact that this great TV movie is ninety minutes lon...( read more)g is a strength (the film never feels overlong, never feels like it is dragging on and goes at a fast pace), but also a weakness (we could have got to know more about the characters and Morrie could have philosophised about even more topics if the film had been longer). It is moving, but it is not particularly a sad movie - rather, it's so uplifting that chances are it will make you cry, or make you be very close to crying. Jack Lemmon gives a great performance, and the rest of the acting is not bad in the slightest.

    Death and dying truly has its lessons

    I saw this years ago, and I was sure I rated it. But anywho, I've watched it again and I like it. Based on the book Mitch Albom has writtem, it's a true story about his old teacher, Morrie Schwartz. It's a great book and I love this movie. Morrie said, that if you know how to die...( read more), you know how too live. He gave Mitch his story, and Mitch recorded them so that he could learn more. A wonderful and sad story. Every Tuesday Mitch would come by his teachers house and help him. He was there like a friend but he became family.
    A Saturday morning Morrie passed away and things weren't the same.

    Hank Azaria and Jack Lemmon are great. It was wonderful too see them together.
