Checking Out (DVD)

The legendary Peter Falk is irresistible in a life-affirming comedy to die for that also stars Laura San Giacomo, David Paymer and Judge Reinhold.

On the eve of his 90th birthday, eccentric, celebrated stage actor Morris Applebaum summons his three grown children to his Manhattan apartment for a festive shindig no one will ever forget. Because when the party is over, Morris intends to make his final exit. No, he is not ill or suffering from depression; he just wants to go out the way he has 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!
