This is a top-notch comedy which has, as all truly great comedies do, very serious overtones. But yes, you will laugh. You will also be quite touched. Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman embody their roles perfectly, as does most of the supporting cast. Tandy was truly one of the great actresses of all time, and she is still sorely missed. I had not seen this movie before, and after nearly 20 years, it still has the power to entertain, to speak big messages in a small, simple voice, and to move. This is a timeless piece of cinema, one for the ages. It is rare to see such heavy issues covered so lightly and so well. Immensely satisfying, watch it and love it.
