VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

SnoopyStyle Morrie Schwartz (Jack Lemmon) is a life loving professor. Then in 1994, he starts suffering from symptoms of Lou Gehrig disease or ALS. Mitch Albom (Hank Azaria) is a workaholic sports reporter for the Detroit Free Press who doesn't have time even for his girlfriend Janine. Then he sees a TV report on his beloved dying college professor Schwartz. He goes to Boston to see him. They used to talk in his office on Tuesdays and end up spending Tuesdays together with Morrie learning life lessons.The Oprah prologue sets this up too much. This movie won't surprise anybody but it still works. It is the performance from Jack Lemmon. It's one of his last starring role. The connection is undeniable. There is a real sense of a life fully lived. Hank Azaria is good. There are some parts that get too sentimental but the heart-felt moments from Lemmon is terrific.

bkoganbing Although he did an unbilled part the following year in The Legend of Bagger Vance, Jack Lemmon went out with like John Wayne did in The Shootist with a film that shows the man's philosophy of life. As Professor Morrie Schwartz, a college professor dying of Lou Gehrig's disease, he imparts a lot of wisdom to one of his former students, Hank Azaria who is drawn into spending time with him and learning how to really live and love. Azaria looks forward to spending his Tuesdays With Morrie.The film has no real plot, it's basically a two character film with a little time for Azaria's girl friend Wendy Moniz. Both Lemmon and Azaria play beautifully off each other.Azaria at one time wanted a musical career, but he became a sportswriter and one good at his trade. But writing about the accomplishments of athletes whose achievements while lauded by fans aren't really doing anything to make the world a better place. He's so much on the run to various sports events that Moniz just tells him to straighten out his priorities before she commits. Lemmon, a former English professor of Azaria's from Brandeis University, is just the man to do it. Although Lemmon's character is hardly like Theodore Roosevelt, he would agree with the old Rough Rider when he says that 'life and death are part of the same glorious adventure'.Oprah Winfrey produced Tuesdays With Morrie and it earned an Emmy Award to go with those two Oscars that Jack Lemmon got in his long and distinguished career. Lemmon hits so many emotions within the viewer at the same time you watch the film knowing you're seeing not a movie, but a testament.Tuesdays With Morrie is recommended for all film viewers who if they're not fans of Jack Lemmon they will be after seeing this.

films_r_forver This movie does the book justice! Being one who just loves this book, i was skeptical as to whether the movie would do it justice! Both Jack Lemmon and Hank Azaria do a brilliant job and it is just such a beautiful movie! Lemmon is absolutely perfect for the role of wise, old Morrie, whom is just so lovable in this role. All of life's greatest lessons can be learned from watching this and it really captures the essence of life and friendship itself. Really moving, thought provoking and touching. Keep a box of tissues handy, because the tears will be streaming all through it!!A simply beautiful movie that will change your view on life and really teach you what it means to be living!!

mOVIemAN56 Tuesdays With Morrie is the kind of movie you never hear about. You simply stumble upon it when going through the TV guide or just flipping through channels. At first I just wanted to see what one of Jack Lemmon's last performances would be like but I ended up watching the movie for what it was. I personally am glad I was able to catch and watch all of Tuesdays with Morrie. It really has touched me in a way and caused me to look at life in a new picture and with a new attitude.Set in 1995, Mitch Albom has a pretty hectic life. He's a sports writer for the Detroit Free Press who must find time to travel across the eastern coast for his job and manage time for his girl friend who is having doubts on their relationship. His life seems to take a halt however when he learns his mentor from college is dying of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). Mitch decides to visit him and begins doing so every Tuesday where Morrie tells him a lesson on life and what to never fear in it.Hank Azaria was only known to me as the man who did Apu's voice on the Simpsons. I never thought I'd see him in a movie, let alone an important and serious film such as Tuesdays with Morrie. He really does show an acting ability that is never shown in The Simpsons (though it is clear his voice acting is clear in that). I was easily able to look past the comedian that is Hank Azaria and see Mitch Albom, a man with too much going on for him.Jack Lemmon.... May he rest in peace. Such a tremendous actor and yet again he was able to show his incredible ability as Morrie Schwartz. He kind of gives off the clearly human persona that was needed for Morrie. When I picture the real Morrie Schwartz (and yes he was a real man who did die of ALS in 1995) I picture a man who is trying to make the best of a clearly heart rendering situation and destructive disease. Lemmon's performance carries the film to how good it ended up being and was a great way for him go out on (though I personally wish he was still around). The movie casts a lot of important messages about life and relationships. Almost everything important comes from Morrie but Mitch is used as the man who will reflect these 'lectures' that Morrie gives. You come to understand through the movie to not be afraid of things that aren't worth being afraid of. Morrie was sometimes upset but not often and he was always looking to the bright side of things and always looking to help and teach. The message is one that all who are afraid in life should listen to.Tuesdays With Morrie is better than your average TV-movie. It has a serious message, strong acting, strong storyline, and top actors to support it. I hope to find this on DVD so I can always have the film to show to people so that they can understand the message behind the film without it ever getting preachy.3.5/5 stars
