Perfectly adorable

Let's be realistic.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

I spent a little time reading other people's reviews of this movie and I was honestly shocked that I seem to be one of few who liked it. Actually as the summary line above shows, I loved it. I laughed and cried! I didn't like the scene where the doctor pounded on Oscars chest twice and he miraculously had a pulse, but then it didn't matter anymore once he died. It just didn't seem as important. Once again, Morgan Freeman gives a wonderful performance. I adored his relationship with his wife; yes, even the faults. I thought the actress who played Chloe did a great job as well. The only character in this movie that I didn't connect with was Bradley, but if he wasn't in it, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy Diana!!!

Based on a novel by Charles Baxter, Robert Benton's "Feast of Love" finds a large cast of characters grappling with issues of love and loss. Presiding over this ensemble is actor Morgan Freeman, whose monologues drip with condescension.At its best, "Feast of Love" portrays love as a biological trick; a messy bit of code adept at getting humans procreating, a functional utility of mate-guarding, gene-spreading and kin-selection. "True love", meanwhile, is something else altogether. Repeatedly in Benton's film, "true loves" come and go, human beings arbitrarily removed and replaced. Each new lover is rationalised as being one's sole "soul mate", until romance fails and, propelled by hope, lonely hearts go out into the world again with fishing rods in tow.Unintentionally cheesy, but unconventionally grim behind its Hollywood glitz, "Feast of Love" stars Greg Kinnear, Radha Mitchell and Selma Blair.5/10 – Worth one viewing. See Todd Solondz's "Happiness".

I often buy DVD's when they are a special low price,3 for a good deal. I have been very surprised that many of these low price films have been absolute gems. I bought this film as 1 of 3 and have not rushed to watch it.In fact, I only bought it because I saw the name Morgan Freeman who has never been a disappointment in any film of his I have watched. This film is not only a gem, it is a sparkling diamond. A beautifully told story with a mature and meaningful script.It is well acted with all performances being almost subdued,hinting always at something more,which added a special charm.Never a moment when the acting seemed unrealistic.Some exceedingly good performances.The character development is complex but good direction and acting enables one to quickly identify the core of the characters.Excellently directed and clever film technique, turning the everyday surroundings into a comforting homeliness,familiarity, whilst yet possessing something especially appealing. The story is entirely believable and the plot develops in intriguing and interesting ways. If you haven't seen it yet,then you are missing something of endearing quality. I have no hesitation in awarding a top 10 for this film.

Muddled and syrupy beyond belief, "Feast of Love" defies logic and believability to the point where the fast-forward button gets gainfully employed. Part of the problem is Greg Kinnear, who ever since "As Good as it Gets" cant shake the gay image, but kidding aside really he plays yet another lost puppy dog cliché "good guy" with pal Morgan Freeman trying to give sagely advice while facing his own past mess. The movie is an overly-trodden soap including a massive gratuity of nudity and sex trying somehow to top off the bloat of an inane script and interactions. (spoiler)The kicker is a "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" situation where most if not all are somehow related and playing or watching football in a park together - kumbaya. And then a requisite jolting (death) to end on a bitter-sweet mood. Stay away.
