Great film but I passed on the BD as it's not much of an upgrade over the DVD. It's also shown on TV regurlarly so it's not really a "must buy" but definitely comes highly recommended!

Thanks Terry, now I can stop thinking about it every time I watch it.


about the only 'goof' I can see in the script is When Murray is playing the piano at the Big party (and  really good too),  his piano teacher, (taking pride in his playing,)  Says " he is my Best student'., leading anyone to think that Murray achieved that status through many of her lessons .,
But if the day is still day 1, She 'must' have thought he was already a  throughly accomplished player, when he showed up at her door with a fistful of cash and 'kicked'  that little girl out into the snow..  earlier in the same day.. 
In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

Doesn't necessarily make it a false statement. If he still showed up on that final day to take a lesson and then played he was technically her student. And maybe he was better than all her other students.

I've read somewhere that he lived this day not just a thousand times, but thousands of times. Well, he had to when you look at his piano skills and his ice sculptures.

IDK, for one thing you don't have to sit through the numerous commercials on TV and you can pick up the DVD for ~$5 and the BD ~$10. Personally it's worth the investment.

One thing about the piano lessons, why would he need to do another session on that last day? He certainly had become great to that point so no need to one more; which he did since at the end the teacher proudly says "He's my student" but also I'm not sure why she'd be proud since, as far as she's concerned, he went in as an experienced piano player.

He didn't.

Perhaps.  And perhaps his playing improved dramatically between the time he began his lesson and the time he finished his lesson.  He took a lesson that day not to improve his playing, but to brighten the day of the piano teacher.
