Head Full of Honey

Oh man, what can I say... This movie is far far away from the German original despite the fact that both movies have the same director and good actors :( I don't know what the heck went wrong making this movie but if you have the choice, watch the original movie.

I went to see this despite the poor rating it has. In my opinion it deserves more than a 2.9 rating. People need to stop comparing it to the original film because it's not the original film it is it's own version. I found it very moving and touching. Although a bit cheesy at times and occasionally poor acting from supporting cast (the main character with Alzheimer's very good), I enjoyed it and glad I went to see it. Insight into what Alzheimer's is like and important factual information learnt whilst watching movie.

I liked the lightness of the approach chosen by the director who deals with a serious and delicate subject: an old man, recently widowed and suffering from the Alzheimer's disease, joins his son's house, with his daughter-in-law and grand daughter. A lightness but definitely not superficiality, as in some of Woody Allen's movies. With a trio of divine actors who energize the movie. First at all Nick Nolte and Emily Mortimer are both excellent. And then Matt Dillon who is unjustly cataloged with movies for decerebrated teenage girls. Without forgetting Sophie Lane Nolte, Jacqueline Bisset and Eric Roberts.

2,9/10?!!? Clearly underrated!

How to make an inherently difficult subject interesting is a challenge. Nick Nolte and Sophia Nolte succee to a degree.

Not sure why this movie got such bad rating. I thought it was beautiful and very moving. I think most old people feel like they become unimportant to their family, exactly why we should make them feel important, go visit your grandparents if you still have them around or send them a message or give them a call. Great acting by NN.
