About this movie

Dying is hell, at least for Alvin, a terminally ill widower confined
to his hospice bed with nothing to chew on but bitter memories.
The wonderfully irascible Alvin, unforgettably portrayed by the
great Seymour Cassel, correspondingly makes life hell for
everyone else around him, as actor-turned-director LeVar Burton
explores the age-old quandary of how we greet our final days --
and who will be there with us at the end. A stirring, life-affirming
drama, the excellent ensemble cast includes Alfre Woodard,
Adrienne Barbeau, Johnny Whitworth and Lacey Chabert in
beautifully crafted performances refreshingly free of false
sentimentality. The world observed from his hospice bed
provides the final proving ground where Alvin learns to make
the most of the time he has, and discover the love he never
knew was so close at hand. MPAA Rating: NOTRATED 2010
