|  | Marvin's Room DVD Just What I was Looking For |  |
Amazon had the dvd that I was looking for and at a very low price. The delivery was fast and the dvd was in excellent condition. I would order from Amazon again.
May 8, 2008This cast is phenomenally talented. The plot was realistic as many families have that not so warm and fuzzy relationship. Watching as these characters struggled through intensely difficult situations was a treat. A must watch movie.

Streep is excellent. DiCaprio turns in one of his finest as the tormented & rebelious teenager. Hume Cronyn does so much with just his eyes and no words. But fellow movie fans, the darling of this film is Diane Keaton. This is one of the best films I've seen about extremely dysfunctional families tearing themselves up trying to fix themselves. It's beautifully done.
April 11, 2008 |  | Acting trio make this film an worth seeing. |  |
The acting makes the film an experience worth watching. The sensitivity of the portrayals at times touch the heart and make you think. You can almost forget who's in this film and experience it's sensitive message.
April 6, 2008 My Parent's first question to me when I asked for movie money was always "Who's in it"? How little things have changed over the years. With a cast such as this one, it's practically inconceivable to produce a "rock", even though " Ocean's 13" has seemingly accomplished it. Teen idol Leo DiCaprio gets "Marvin's Room" off to a blazing start, setting his home afire.He's had it with his mother (Streep), who reciprocates his "love" by setting off as a belated career girl,looking out for her own interests. Enter Leo's long lost aunt (Keaton), who's been tending his grandfather and grand aunt for 20 years with little correspondence between the two sisters. Suddenly, leukemia strikes Keaton, requiring family cooperation for a possible bone marrow transplant. Only with death on the doorstep is family reconciliation possible; even DiCaprio develops a grudging acceptance at film's end. It's a well acted, thoughtfully produced film, of interest to all age groups. It's also timeless; due mainly to "who's in it".
