Product Description:
STILL IN SHOCK FROM HIS ONLY SON'S DEATH A DECADE AGO, EINAR HAS LET HIS RANCH FALL INTO RUIN ALONG WITH HIS MARRIAGE. EINAR INTENDS TO LIVE OUT HIS DAYS ALONE...UNTIL THE PERSON HE BLAMES FOR HIS SON'S DEATH COMES TO TOWN - HIS DAUGHTER-IN-LAW JEAN.
Amazon.com:
Much like the late Rodney Dangerfield, some films just can't get any respect. Shelved by Miramax for two years, An Unfinished Life was released with little fanfare between Morgan Freeman's Oscar win and Lasse Hallström's higher-profile Casanova. Despite critical praise from some quarters, the heartland drama got lost amidst the shuffle. The title comes from the epitaph of Griffin, late son of Wyoming rancher Einar (a rumpled Robert Redford). Between chores, he looks after ranch hand Mitch (Freeman), who was mauled by a bear the year before. One day, daughter-in-law Jean (Jennifer Lopez) and granddaughter Griff (Becca Gardner) drop by the ranch unexpectedly. They're on the run from Jean's abusive boyfriend, Gary (Damian Lewis), back in Iowa. "I don't want you here," Einar states flatly--he blames her for Griffin's death 12 years ago--but the look on the kid's face convinces him to relent. While Jean works as a waitress in town and embarks on a tentative relationship with Sheriff Crane (Josh Lucas), his newfound granddaughter helps to take care of Mitch. Just as the four are starting to form a loose-knit family, Gary comes looking for Jean and upsets the delicate balance. It may pack fewer surprises than the superior What's Eating Gilbert Grape and the bear symbolism may be a mite heavy-handed, but the deeply unfashionable An Unfinished Life deserves a second chance to find an audience. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

I love this movie, it has an actual story line and a good one at that. The actors in this are fantastic. Also a movie you can watch with the family.

I am not a big J Lo fan but this is one of her better movies. Just look at the cast, Morgan Freeman, Robert Redford and you will know that it is a good movie.

My son and I have seen this movie several times and think it is great. The characters/actors give moving performances. I purchased this DVD as a gift for my oldest son, as I didn't want him and his family to miss seeing it.

This is one of my favorite movies... Becca Gardner got thrown into the fray doing her first movie with four powerful actors, and she not only held her own, she stole the movie! I hope to see a LOT more of this young lady! As for the supplier, the DVD was shipped very quickly, and arrived in perfect, brand new condition, as promised. I can't say anything better than that!

This is an excellent film about facing the past and the future unafraid. It is about hope and expectation even when life has been difficult. An unfinished life is the life all of us live or can live if we choose.
