Whew that was an emotional roller coaster. Lots of humor too.
My little one had read the book and part of the interesting follow up book by the author. Julian's perspective.
Very very well done. Owen Wilson and Julia Roberts (only 1 year age difference) were great. Funny and quite a tear jerker. Lots of sniffling in the theater - Cine Bistro a dine in type place. I was seated next to another "Dad" and I could feel him squirming and heard/felt his emotions in the seat we shared. Never made eye contact, it's a "man thing". I heard one DAD say as he came in tithe his extended crew "Its okay to cry today". We all knew this was going to be a tough one.
Of course only rich people have this problem - my only criticism of the movie.
They dealt with the older sister's perspective very well.
HIGHLY recommended.
