On Golden Pond (2001 TV Movie)
8/10
Well done, but does not come close to original!

Warning: Spoilers
Well worth watching! The acting it great. However, this "live" re-make does not come close to giving me the emotional experience the original did!

Example (POSSIBLE SPOILER):

In the original movie, the boy is the the main influence in Norman's life. He is the one who helps him come to terms with his age and destiny. In this re-make, his is kind of on the side line.

This is worth watching, and very entertaining, but falls short of the original! But what do you expect? I don't think entertainers ever say "Hey Joe, that movie was pretty stupid, let's re-make it!"
