    Unbearably Bad

    Not to Forget (2021) is a really bad film about a "millennial" who gets sentenced to a month with his grandmother in Kentucky. The old lady is suffering from alzheimer's disease. When he discovers she is rich and owns land, he summons his dumb friends and they try to cook up a scheme to grab her money and property. Easily one of the worst films I've ever seen. The low point may be when the grandson dresses up in jesus drag to try to get the old lady to say where the key to the safe is. And no it's not supposed to be funny.

    Five, count them, five Oscar winners appear in this mess. Lou Gossett plays a local minister who spouts bible passages at the drop of a hat. Olympia Dukakis plays the judge. Cloris Leachman plays a hair salon customer. Tatum O'Neal plays the local doctor. George Chakiris plays the ancient banker. Career lows for all of them. Aside from Gossett, this is the final film appearance for the others.

    Karen Grassle plays the old grandma. Never heard of any of the young actors and they are all terrible.

    Best ever movie

    I think most of America, if not the world, look for great family programming L, and thia movie fit the bill.

    I'm am older guy, and I had tears several times watching this. I rarely sit thru a whole movie. Usually I don't finish them, or watch them over multiple days, but like a God book you can't put down, I watched this fully without a break. I truly enjoyed this movie. Having a disease can be so hard to deal with. But love, patience, and family is so important. This movie was sweet, sad, to the heart, and joyful. The acting may not have been the best but it was still enjoyable. I recommend this movie.

    We enjoyed the movie.

    This was a simple movie...very relatable. Great cast from years past. The messages and lessons learned made for a happy ending, after so much tragedy. The piano piece played by Melody was heartwarming... I love instrumentals and would love to download load it to my Playlist...why can I find it? Thanks for an enjoyable movie and seeing two of the fabulous and funny actresses in their last roles.

    Beautiful and Poignant Film

    NOT TO FORGET is a film you will not forget, with its poignant message and unique perspective on Alzheimer's. It was the Best of Fest winner for San Diego Movie Awards at the beginning of 2022 and won additional awards and was screened at our in-person festival on August 2, 2022, at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park, San Diego, California. SDMA recognizes and honors independent filmmakers and screenwriters from all over the globe, and it is very proud to have awarded this feature film.

    With an all star cast featuring the final performances of Cloris Leachman and Olympia Dukakis, this film brings new insight into this devastating disease.
