The movie actually is heartwarming without being overly manipulative. And a kind of a "male bonding" film, much in the vein of "Shawshank Redemption" , Freeman not withstanding. I then realized Freeman could read the phonebook as narrative and I'd be revited. Anyways, great film, great ending and great supporting role by Sean Hayes. Never was a fan of "Will and Grace", and the only other thing I had to judge him by was his fantastic potrayal of Jerry Lewis in the TV movie "Dean and Jerry" also highly recommened.
