...Bruce Teigen has six more thank-you notes to write. But his fingers, chafed and bloated, can't grip a pen very well anymore. He is blind in his left eye and has blurry vision in his right, but Bruce, never a complainer, vows to complete the chore in the coming days. His mother Phyllis Moore pulls out a stack of blank greeting cards for him to choose from. "This one says, 'With special thoughts of you,' and has a cute teapot on it," she calmly tells her son as he sits on his well-worn living-room rocker. "This...
...Bruce got out of the hospital in late March. Immediately, he and his family got busy--planning for his death. Dialysis might prolong his life, but Bruce adamantly refuses it.

Nickelodeon refused...
...these characters to begin with - come on, a karaoke hustler? Played by Huey Lewis? Karaoke as a metaphor for finding meaning in a meaningless world? Most people would probably be better off reading the Bhagavad Gita than crooning "Bette Davis Eyes" in front of a bar full of strangers. Bruce Paltrow's direction (in the past, he served as executive producer and director of NBC's "St. Elsewhere") is as aimless as his characters' lives, and we never get caught up in the story. Maybe Paltrow & Paltrow did this movie because they wanted to work together...
