Editorial Reviews

Review
"Loaded with substance...has a heart-warming finale that is well earned!" --Philadelphia Daily News

Product Description
On the eve of his 90th birthday, eccentric, celebrated thespian Morris Applebaum (Peter Falk) summons his three grown children to his Manhattan apartment for a festive shindig no one will ever forget. Because when the party's over, Morris plans to take his "final exit". No, he's not ill or unduly depressed; he just wants to go out the way he's lived: on his own terms. Now it's up to his hilariously angst-ridden offspring to put aside their own excess baggage and convince Morris that it ain't over till the fat lady sings!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Funny, August 26, 2007
I liked every minute of this movie.
It made me remeber "Noises OFF" because of the fast pace and the continuous laughing it provokes.
I do recomend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, July 8, 2007
This film reminded me what a well written and acted film looks like. If you love smart dialogue and comedy, this is your kind of movie. I wish more films were this good.
If you liked this film, I suggest that you see "When Do We Eat".

2.0 out of 5 stars Shades of Mediocrity
Take a story line with more miles on it than Peter Falk and cram it full of sit-com cliche and you have "Checking Out." The only thing missing was the laugh track. Read more
