Memories Of Me
"Fast, furious and funny!" -Joel Siegel, Good Morning America
Billy Crystal and Alan King will keep you in stitches in this heartwarming comedy about a feuding father and son who discover that love is a family trait. With a script by Crystal and Oscar Winner Eric Roth, Memories of Me is "well written, well directed [and] smart and tender." (Roger Ebert, Siskel & Ebert)
They say, like father, like son, but for Abe (King) and Abbie (Crystal) Polin, nothing could be further from the truth. Abe is King of the Hollywood extras. As an actor he's an expert at being a face in the crowd. His son Abbie is a respected New York heart surgeon who's always felt like a bit player in his father's life. When Abbie suffers a mild heart attack, he decides it's time to mend family ties...or break them altogether. So he heads out to Hollywood, where his efforts at reconciliation lead to hilarious consequences.

Boring and Depressing - newdaysof
I am a huge Billy Crystal fan but this movie falls flat. It starts with Crystal's character having a heart attack and ends with his father dying of a brain tumor, and throughout the film, they fight with each other. Not a pleasant way to spend an hour and a half.
The plot, dialogue and characters are boring, depressing and somewhat contrived. The animosity between father and son seems like a flimsy plot device to create conflict. Alan King is not one of my favourite actors. Either is Judith Williams.
There is nothing in this film to like. There's not even any real comedy or jokes. Just one long boring and depressing movie.
