James Garner and Julie Andrews reunite for this very special TV-Movie. They play two people stranded in a snow storm who through the night learn about each other and grow a meaningful friendship. James Garner is excellent, while Julie Andrews delivers a knockout performance. A great CBS movie, watch it if you get the chance.
Jack Lemmon plays one of the most convincing and the most wonderful character of his career, while Hank Azaria portrays his best yet. The secret to this movie is the casting and writing and how well they work together. "Tuesdays with Morrie" was aired the first Sunday of December in 1999 on ABC, where they couldn't have gotten a better start. Jack Lemmon should do more TV, while Hank Azaria should show more of himself than his voice (referring to the many voices he's done on "The Simpson's." It's a great movie and get my vote as one of the (or the) best TV Movie of 1999.
I just came home watching this movie and I was littlerally in tears. I could not speak and for a minute could not hear. I watched this movie think that it was going to be good but it was the best. I have never a crowd of people give a standing ovation in the middle of the movie or so many people have real tears running down there cheeks. This movie was about a man and a dream, one that he would give anything for, just if it would come true. The performances by all the actors, not just Costner's, was astounding. This movie will not win as many awards, if any, but it sure deserved it. It touched a way a movie never has and I will buy it the first chance I get when it comes out. I encourage to see this and write about, if to anyone, myself. Go experience this emotional trail, if nothing more than to see Costner and more importantly watch it for his performance and For Love of the Game.
