When watching this film, I didn't know that Robert Reiner was the director of the film. No wonder this film is so warm and makes the audience feel relaxed and happy from the heart. From the earliest This Is Spinal Tap, to Stand by Me, to the later When Harry Met Sally..., there are many works by Robert Reiner that I love very much, and this film is no exception.

At the beginning of the film, the protagonist is not a very lovable character, but as the film progresses, Morgan Freeman has this ability, making you more and more curious about this old man, and the audience will invariably produce the same characters as other characters in the film. Psychological change: From initial resistance to complete acceptance of this new neighbor. Another great success of this film is that every little character in the story has a reason for its existence. They seem to be really friends and neighbors around you.

This movie is suitable for the whole family to watch. The story cannot be simpler, but it is full of warmth inside and out. After watching it, it will bring you endless positive energy. It is the kind of feel good type of film. It is worth mentioning that people who like to write and read will fall in love with this film even more. Just because the lines in it, especially the lines from the old man played by Morgan Freeman, are full of wit and humor.

Writing and storytelling are innate talents, just like the sketches written by the old man in the movie, which can melt your heart in an instant. .
