Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

View MoreJack Lemmon was one of America's most beloved actors. This film may not be the greatest of his works but he makes it so. With a supporting cast like Madeline Kahn, Joanna Gleason and Talia Shire, Jack Lemmon is surrounded by talented women. Jonathan Silverman played his college graduate son, Michael. The film was made for television for HBO in 1992. Jack played Aram Katourian, an Armenian American successful businessman who has millions of dollars. His son doesn't seem interested in hard work or success but by getting on his father's tailcoats. The film has a lesson about how to succeed in business. When Aram declares bankruptcy, he moves his family to their first apartment on the wrong side of town. He wanted his son to become independent and ambitious to succeed. Meanwhile, he is rescued by a homeless woman named Billie (Madeline Kahn) and recounts his story to her. Joanna Gleason played his longtime mistress, Irene and Talia Shire played his longtime wife, Millie.
View MoreDaddy Lemmon plays a 60 yrs old Armenian businessman who faces a need of reform in his life and in his family's life; and this is prettily shaped as a comedy. He has a sexy mistress, a nice wife and a lazy son. Now, this oldster seldom sleeps with his wife, is bored and his son will not earn a living. So the businessman resorts to drastic means; as a result, his wife begins sleeping again with him. Otherwise, the movie is predictably mediocre.Talia Shire is Millie, Lemmon's sexually neglected wife; Joanna Gleason is his mistress.Now about the women—I confess that I have found Lemmon's mistress to be far sexier than Millie the wife. Lemmon tell his mistress that he has last possessed his dear wife four months ago—and 12 times in the last couple of years—now that's a little crude but probably true to his life.
View MoreThis movie was very pertinent to me; not because I have bratty kids but because as a man who came from nothing and made a reasonable amount of money, the thought is always in the back of your mind that you could do it again. Easily. Hell, with my experience and brilliance maybe in half the time..I watched this film in awe. The lack of success in doing it again is truly breathtaking! It honestly made me think long and hard about what I had and what I had achieved, and that my best plan was HOLDING ON TO IT!!!I thought it was well acted and extremely entertaining, although one could say the end was a tad predictable, but good fare nevertheless.And for all of you out there who consider yourselves, as I did, self made marvels, its a lead balloon. A good one..
View MoreWell cast, well made comedy about a self made businessman (Lemmon) who liquidates all his assets to get a new lease on life and show his lazy son a lesson. Lemmon and Silverman are perfect as on screen father and son, who would later go on to work together in "The Odd Couple II." (Silverman plays Walter Matthau's son in that film.)
