Title: Art Carney is great, the writing not so much.
Review: No question, Art Carney is a great actor.Unfortunately, after a good long journey through the movie, the ending sabotages the whole thing with a forced, copout ending worthy of no more than a C- in a freshman creative writing course. Yeah, I get it, Harry completely sheds his past and moves into the future. Could you use something less than a 20-pound sledgehammer to drive the point home? Tellingly, Carney's performance in the unnecessary goodbye scene is the only time he's unconvincing in the whole movie.Yeah, I know, "bittersweet" endings get you noticed by the Oscars. Sweet endings don't. But nobody seems to notice that bittersweet endings are the easy out.I wish I had passed on this one.
