Movie Pix Weekly Movie Review: Tuesdays with Morrie

Welcome to the third installment of the Movie Pix Weekly Movie Review. We have a few administrative things to take care of before we get started. As a lot of you may have noticed, the reviews haven't been published weekly as I originially stated. This was not my intention and was due to a change in Associated Content's (AC) Publishing policy. I was choosing Exclusive and the Performance Payment Option thinking that it would be published immediately, since I do have more than three articles published with AC. However, they have changed their policy and unless you select the new "Display-Only" option, it still is submitted for review and is published when AC decides it is kosher to publish.

This change will bring about a new change for this article as well. After this article is published, the weekly reviews will be submitted on a "Display Only" option, so that it will allow me to publish these reviews Weekly. Whatever day AC decides to publish this article will be the day each week that the Reviews are published. This will be a better change for the readers and a more convenient change for me.

Okay, with that out of the way, here's the review:

Starring: Jack Lemmon and Hank Azaria

If you're familiar with "The Seven People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom, then you are probably already familiar with at least the book "Tuesday's with Morrie" as well. If not, then I suggest reading both books first before watching either movie.

Tuesday's with Morrie is based on the non-fiction book by Mitch Albom, titled, of course, "Tuesday's with Morrie." This movie will ask you every question about life that you felt uncomfortable with and require you to answer them. It is a great movie from beginning to end, and is one of the best non-fiction movies I have seen recently.

Morrie (Jack Lemmon) is Mitch's (Hank Azaria) old professor, who is diagnosed with a fatal disease. Once Mitch hears about his old prof's diagnosis, he puts his busy life on hold every Tuesday to go back to see his old friend for a final lesson. The lesson is about life and values.

In these final lessons, Morrie asks Mitch and the audience several questions about those uncomfortable subjects in life: lfie, death, romance, etc and gets Mitch to contemplate each and every one.

This movie will bring a tear to your eye from both joy and sadness. If you're not inspired by this movie, then I don't know what else to say, but the movie really impressed me. When I found out it was non-fiction, I didn't think I would like it, however I am glad I watched it, because it was definitely good.

Well, that's it for the review this week. Stay tuned for next week's (or whenever it's published) review: Monster-in-Law

Final Rating: Keeper- This movie is definitely a keeper. While you may watch it once or twice by yourself, it's definitely a constant for that family or friends "Movie Night."

Children's Rating: This movie is okay for children. There is no blood or killing and no inappropriate images. However, if you're uncomfortable showing your children movies that deal with death, then wait until you're ready to tell them about life and death.

Next Week's Movie: Monster-in-Law.
