I want Derek Jacobi and a wizened Toni Colette. (I have this theory that she could pull off Santa, so the age thing doesn't bug me here.) Or, now that his star is again visible, Alan Arkin and Tyne Daly?<br/><br/>But, that's not why I'm commenting. When I was a hospice chaplain, I saw some pretty amazing charades pulled off by family members which fell just short of the antics of "Good-bye Lenin". <br/><br/>We always spoke out against this sort of thing, but without success. And oddly enough, all my recollections are of MEN doing these things for their wives. Hope the screenwriters look into that aspect for the movie. No thanks.
