I absolutely love this movie, mostly because I love Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland. It has all the elements for me... some humor, some sadness, and a lot of pretty scenery. I had read the book (twice) before the movie was released and loved it. The movie isn't as good as the book but it is worth the time if only to see the 1975 Winnebago Indian RV.
Thanks @Beth Gallagher ! I'll put in on my weekend list. I see Amazon has it. Maybe it will come with prime, but if not, I'll just pay for it.
I would love that movie. I'd like to read the book first, then watch see the movie. So glad you posted this!
