There are a couple of ways to enjoy this movie. First, if you want a second screen picture, you can enjoy it simply by noticing how glorious both Brendan Frasier and Patrick Dempsey look.
The plot is fairly predictable, so you really can dip in and out, relaxing.

However, it's equally valid to enjoy the interplay between Fraser and Joe Pesci. Love these actors.
The duo are the core of the film as Pesci's homeless character teaches Fraser's Harvard student to have more of a heart.
That the plot unfolds predictably doesn't downgrade how nicely filmed and edited this mid-budget project is. The original "meet cute" of Fraser and Pesci is plenty cute. And while I don't believe it was filmed in the actual Harvard, locations, set dec, and costuming give the situation believability.

This is the kind of warm and gentle show I look to for comfort, so obviously I recommend a watch.
Bring tissues.

I tuned into Ballard by accident having no knowledge of prior shows or even novels. Now I need to hit my local bookstore, stat...as well as maybe watch the entire thing again. This new series is a total binge.
Of course the downside to that is the need to wait for the next season to drop.
Given the group chat all evening, I think my friends felt the same. (Sorry if I've somewhat expended my point-by-point review energies there.)

Ballard showcases strong acting from the entire cast, but especially from Maggie Q. (Having seen Q on shows before, I had little doubt this would be the case.)
The writers did exceptionally well at delivering clever dialogue from strong and compelling characters. Pacing on the plotline was top tier.
I enjoyed their clear messaging about issues and an actual hero as the lead. It's 2025 and we need this.

Small cast, no real special effects beyond the use of "twins," simple plot structure--but what an impact.
I wish they made movies like this still.

Bette Davis, of course, is a major reason the film works. She embodies both sisters, her face a study as she maneuvers through unexpected reveals and twists.
Karl Malden and Peter Lawford are incredible support. (Malden as one sister's boyfriend; Lawford as the other, recently widowed one's lover)
It's unfair to give away too. However, the twists aren't telegraphed, land cleanly, and the story unfolds in a believable fashion even with the extraordinary circumstances.

All Bette Davis is good Bette Davis. This late middle career picture has her comfortably carrying the show without flaw.
