| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumA pretty forgotten little movie that has some poignant moments. |
| User ReviewRodsella ARoommates is a wonderful story about an extended family that needs its grandfather to fill in for their mother who has died tragically young, and a grandfather who needs a reason to go on living. Together they muddle through life, with the kids, the son, and the father all becoming emotionlly with the passing of time. There are many touching moments in the film, not the least of which is the lump-in-your-throat ending. Definitely a chick-flick worth checking out by real men who are not afraid of their emotions. Right up there with "Door-to-Door", and "Steel Magnolias." |
| User ReviewJames DThis film is Peter Falk's favorite, he holds this film the closest to his heart... and i can understand why. |
| User ReviewCynthia SNice. Sweet. Moving. Peter Falk was great as the old geezer (though the makeup sometimes was questionable). |
| User ReviewJonathan SThis movie was much more than i expected. It was great because the kid grew up with everything changing around him, while the grandpa stayed constant. A little sad by the end... but a movie worthy of your time |
| User ReviewSanford RI would have rated this higher had the medical scenes been more realistic. |
| User Reviewp bIt's a funny, warmhearted movie and when you see it (because you should) bring a towel. |
| User ReviewTony SForgot about this little movie that was made in 1995. Very funny and heartwarming. |
| User ReviewRose AThe old dude is soo cool! he'd be a wicked grandpa. |
| User ReviewDavid BNothing new from this family comedy about a grandfather and his grandson going through life's problems. |
