This movie is exactly what you would expect to see if you saw any of the trailers or previews for it. It is a feel good movie with two legendary actors who play their parts very well.
Before seeing the movie I could probably have told you basically the entire plot, but sometimes its nice to just sit back and watch a movie that you know will lift your spirits. It is a good story, one that everyone on the planet probably has dreamed about actually living out, and nothing crazy is thrown at you. They do not take many risks in the story, but who cares. What the storyline does do extremely well is make you feel like running out and living life to the fullest. Hopefully there are people who do not need a movie like this to make them feel extremely high on life, but there are definitely people out there who can use a pick me up like this.
The acting is as you would expect from two great actors and each of them have their moments when they shine. Everyone in the movie does a really good job with no complaints, except for the doctor that is taking care of Jack. He doesn't really do anything wrong, but I just remember him from Numb3rs and it is strange seeing him as a doctor rather than an FBI agent running around with a gun in hand.
Anyways to sum it up, you get exactly what you pay for with this movie, a feel good flick that will lift your spirits and provide some good moments from two legendary actors.
