Charlie et moi

12 year old Casey Baker (Jordy Benattar) lost her mother 8 years before. Her father Jeffrey (James Gallanders) hides in his work. She's left with her grandfather Charlie (Tom Bosley) often. While Jeffrey is away on a business trip, Charlie has a heart attack but he doesn't want to spend his remaining time dealing with his illness. Dr. Robert Graham (Barclay Hope) may have a clinical trial and Jeffrey can't deal with the possibility of losing Charlie. Dr. Fran Gilford (Cara Pifko) works with Dr. Graham as well as his ex.

It's real nice to see Tom Bosley doing work and he looks great in one of his last few movies. He looks sharp. Jordy Benattar is cute and has some spunk to her. They have a nice sweet chemistry together. I would be fine if this movie is only about them. On the other, I found the father rather bland and I don't really feel invested in his relationship with Dr. Gilford. It's a TV movie and it has about that level of production value. I also wish the writing was sharper for Bosley to play with. Little Jordy is able to bring the emotional punch. It's a nice low key family movie.

A beautiful portrayal of a relationship between young and old. Most movies of this kind extend reality a bit as does this movie. The work the actress playing Casey was moving. If you are not touched by this movie you have no heart.

I really appreciated this movie. While it was dramatic and sad, it was heartfelt and had a secular tone. In one of Tom Bosley's last roles, he plays a sweet and slightly curmudgeon grandfather who shares a special bond with his granddaughter. After a heart attack nearly costs him his life, Gramps gives her a sincere lesson on how to live a quality life and cope with loss. Gramps also helps her learn how to cope with her fear of public speaking and to interact with a male classmate.

The "tie in" (pun intended) to jazz music also strengthened this movie. For a Hallmark movie, the acting and scenery was strong. It's a perfect film for everyone, young and old.

My family thought Charlie & Me was excellent.It is a family movie and is very touching to the heart. We can't wait till it comes out on DVD so it can be added to our collection. It is very loving when a grandpa steps in and helps be there for grandchild when parent can't. It also is a very bonding movie. I wouldn't change anything. We enjoyed the all of the movie but when she put up the lines from her home to gr-amps home so they could communicate back and forth that was very touching the whole movie was very touching. It is a real tear jerker my child and can relate since his father was never there for him. Grandpa was Casey's her whole world. But however, she needed her father also.

I watched this on Hallmark Now it was a heartwarming story of family and change. Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be difficult for anyone, especially when they are very close. The bond between Charlie and Casey is one that will last forever but Casey needs Charlie's help to make it through. Charlie has lived next to his son and granddaughter for many years, and Casey and Gramps are are very close. But as a result of a heart attack, Charlie realizes that some changes have to be made before his trip "home".

This movie will have you laughing and crying. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 5/18/2021.
