Conclusioni
Rob Reiner timbra il cartellino facendo una delle sue commedie agrodolci, scritta e diretta appositamente per poggiare sulle spallucce dei mattatori di turno; Nicholson (il solito grigione gigioneggiante di sempre, fa le facce buffe e sembra arcigno ma in realtà è un finto-burbero dal cuore tenero) e Freeman (lo stesso anzianotto flemmatico e un po' new-age di tutti gli altri suoi film, voce narrante compresa). Una formula che non può fallire per un trailer talmente rapinosetto da sembrare pure carino.
