Mitchel R @RT89815859 Sep 16, 2026 Second half addresses how one or two family members do 90+% of the work of caring for sick or elderly members. In most cases one does too much & grabs power, while others escapes & avoids contact. Teamwork is a rare skill & virtue. Then one accuses, and all feel guilty; often for a lifetime. It is extremely sad & common. The solution is to be honest & transparent, while not expecting you to feel and do exactly what I choose to do. Caring for the elderly often breaks up siblings. In my family a brother made all the decisions for mother’s care; I contributed monthly money. I disagree with much of what he did but said very little since he never wanted to discuss it. I do not know why he ignored my suggestions. Maybe he felt insecure/guilty for taking control so quickly and completely. I trusted him. He Stoic never reveal what was rambling around inside his head and heart. It would have been best if the controlling brother sent a short report and budget to his 4 siblings.

This is the perfect holiday movie for the ON GOLDEN POND crowd. In their third screen pairing after THE AMERICANIZATION OF EMILY and the wonderful VICTOR/VICTORIA, Andrews and Garner are as comfortable together onscreen as a pair of woolen socks in front of a roaring fireplace. They make a satisfactory story into something truly special. Both are among the warmest and most genuine screen presences ever, so when you put them together in the same project, the results inevitably tug at the heartstrings. I'll be honest - outside of Andrews and Garner this is frankly a mediocre Hallmark-esque movie with average acting and TV-level production values. Thankfully, though, the two veterans are onscreen, separately or together, for the vast majority of the time. The titular special night is indeed just that, and watching them do the most mundane acts like spoon peanut butter and jelly out of a jar becomes something lovely. It's not the most exciting movie ever made, so I wouldn't recommend watching right after Thanksgiving dinner when you're on an L-tryptophan high. But curl up in front of the TV sometime this season and enjoy two seasoned pros who obviously enjoy working together. It will warm the coldest of hearts.

Good lessons about dealing with aging parents and spouses See more Dec 11, 2016 A classy and sweet holiday romance movie - Julie Andrews and James Garner show us why they were such a great pair in 'Victor Victoria'. It;s not a big budget film and seems to lag a little in the 3rd act but definitely still worth viewing for fans of Andrews/Garner as well as romance Holiday movies. 7/10 See more Read all reviews
