    A decent movie

    Although the movie is 79 minutes long,the plot is still kinda slow and there are many irrelevant scenes.Storyline and flashbacks that include Max Rose and his wife are nice but they are not brethtaking.All in all I would rate it 6.5/10 .

    A terrific film, Jerry's best performance

    MAX ROSE must get distribution. If/when it does, Jerry Lewis will win an Oscar for Best Actor.

    If you only know Lewis as the icon rubber-faced "HEY LAAAAADY" comic of films like THE NUTTY PROFESSOR and CINDERFELLA, you are in for a delightful surprise. Even if you loved Jerry in Scorsese's brilliant KING OF COMEDY, you'll still be shocked by the depth and delicacy of his performance in the title role, a man whose life begins to unravel after the death of his beloved wife of 60+ years, Eva -- beautifully played by Clare Bloom.

    Lewis has been prepping for his role for more than 3/4 of a century and he lights up the screen. Seeing his work here makes me wish he'd done more than the slapstick comedies that made him an icon. He's a damned fine dramatic actor.

    Writer-Director Daniel Noah has crafted a story that is at once tender, heartbreaking, honest, textured and captivating. It is that rarest of things - an actual "movie" with a plot and compelling characters.

    Noah allows Jerry to pay subtle homage to his own past without overshadowing the heart, the drama or the honesty of Max's odyssey.

    The supporting cast is excellent, notably a group of 80-somethings including Mort Sahl and Rance Howard.

    Daniel Noah is a filmmaker to be reckoned with. I hope this film brings him the success he deserves.

    Great acting and great story! 10 stars worthy!

    This movie surprised me positively. I always check the rating before watching any movie. The 6.4 rate did not turn me like watching it. But I did anyway because of Jerry Lewis and just loved it. Its current rating isn't fair. This movie is a piece of art with a great message. No clichés and good surprises unfold. I highly recommend watching it! Sometimes we don't treasure our lives and just can't seem to realize what we are letting go through our fingers. A movie like this helps us see what a great gift our lives are. Jerry Lewis acting is close to perfection. Sometimes some horrible movies get good ratings. Why is that? I guess I can't trust ratings anymore.
