The Thing About My Folks

Okay, so the average age of the actors in this movie is probably 50-something but that shouldn't scare you away.

This movie, The Thing About My Folks (written by Paul Reiser, Mad About You), is adorable!
I laughed and cried (a lot). It's such an honest, intimate and touching look at family especially the relationship between a parent and a child even though the child is about 40/50 something. But aren't we all kids at heart no matter how old we are?

There was a special screening at Lincoln Center last night and after the movie, we were treated to a Q&A with Paul Reiser and Peter Falk (Mr. Columbo - he was also in Made with Vince Vaughn). They were both adorable and hilarious, just like in the movie.

This is one definitely worth checking out. Visually a very pretty picture (lots of fall foliage) and very well-written and acted. Peter Falk deserves an award!
