This movie is Clint Eastwoods best. One of the best movies I have ever seen.

Clint Eastwood a remarkable actor,director,man.A talented director sometimes starring in his own films(e.g.The Outlaw Josey Wales,Unforgiven).In the tradition of stars who project pure Americanism and rectify wrongs(Wayne,Cooper).Eastwood shows a willingness to examine his own screen persona(here comically,witness the macho talking scene in the hairdressers).He shows a willingness to engage with contemporary issues,the immigration into formerly all white areas of Hmong Asians,the kind of people he might have fought in the Korean war.He has a warrior ethic and is outwardly bigoted and not religious.However his family are only after his money and they are trying to get him into an old people's home and get his house and car.
His real family become his next door neighbours who worship his courage and role-modelling abilities for theirson. Ever since The Outlaw Josey Wales, Eastwood has shown a propensity for empathy with marginalised people and outsiders.In this film we get echoes of Dirty Harry, Pale Rider and Unforgiven,but of a humanised kind without the fascist overtones.At the age of 78 to act,write and direct a major film is heroic.He suggests a mixing of global and local themes and shows how to wind the audience in with the unfolding of character.This film provides a great laugh but Walt has to make a great sacrifice.Stunning.

This dvd makes you think a little more about life and the way we think and behave. It is a great movie.

hahaha this movie is great, eastwood plays a washed up recently widowed grumpy old man who in the past was fighting in korea and is haunted by the horrble things he did and the people he killed there. because of his experiences, he despises koreans, or as he calls them "gooks" but when the new neighborhs are a a family of the kind he hates, he finds that there is less truth and gorrible fiction to his foul mouthed and sometimes funny racism, as he grows close to the family and the young teenage boy and girl who live there.
the whole movieis mostly slap style jokes that make you feel bad that you are laughing at them,and the old tough guy looks the part and seems prefect for clint eastwod. he is awsome,
but underneath his crude humor there is a powerful and often moving story that will have you close to tears at the end.
i would recommend you buy it.
its just awsome.

All I Can Say Is, So I Don't Give Away What The Movie is About Is That I Did Not Like The Ending.
