This is an amazing touching story. Realizing it is a true story, touches me even more. It's a rarity to know such a person like Morrie, uncorrupted by the systematic lifesytles we follow daily for material gains.

It's a beautiful movie about how we should enjoy life instead of looking for pain and sadness. It's based in a true story, which makes the movie more realistic. Morrie is performed by Jack Lemmon, a brilliant actor.

Tuesdays with Morrie is an amazing true story played by two fantastic actors Jack Lemmon and Hank Azaria. It really makes you think about your life, and stirs wonderful emotions inside It is a guy and chick movie. well worth the effort to watch.

A moving story of life, death, and love
You may think that a movie about the death of a man with ALS is going to be hard going but Morrie is no ordinary man. Played to perfection by Jack Lemmon, poignantly in his last screen role, Morrie is a retired University professor who wants to use his death to teach others how to live. Reunited with his fast-living former student, Mitch Albom, we see how his words and aphorisms turn Mitch from a nice but career-driven guy into someone more rounded and at peace with himself. Since the film is based on a true story - Mitch and Morrie are both real - it gives an added import to Morrie's words. The movie works due to its subtlety and its refusal to play-down the devastating effects of ALS. It also doesn't put Morrie on a pedestal; he has his dark moments and this makes his words more convincing. To know that he battles the same demons that we all do makes him less like a guru and more human. Although the film does carry a lot of wisdom, it never tries to preach. Mitch finds the lessons difficult and provides the sort of questions we might all have when faced with such statements as `We must love one another or die'. Ultimately, you feel Morrie succeeded in his wish to make his death a lesson in living and we must thank Mitch Albrom and the makers of this film, for bringing his words to us all.

Tuesdays with Morrie
I ordered a few DVD's at once but this one took considerable longer that all the others.

One of made for TV best movies
I sat through the movie and asked one question.When will a cure for ALS be found?I hope soon.I met someone who had it and I was scared in hoping I didn't get it.This movie was too powerful to watch and I would recommend it very well.The casting was perfect and I saw Five People you Meet in Heaven and I want to see more of Mitch's books get made into movies.

Introspective on Life
Excellent presentation on "lessons for life" from a dying man. The story is true & Jack Lemmon does a superb job of portraying Morrie Schwartz, the title character. Very close to the best-selling book. I had my high school classes read the book and then watch the movie. Despite the fact that Morrie is teaching the lessons while awaiting his death, the story is not depressing as one might think. It celebrates life and thus is uplifting. Bits of real life humor causes us to take deeper looks at ourselves and our society.
