Pros: Henry Fonda, Katharine Hepburn, beautiful setting Cons: Jane Fonda
When I was a kid, my parents had a cabin on a lake in the north woods of Wisconsin. I had a love/hate relationship with that cabin. I hated the idea of going there, leaving my friends, being stuck with my family (horror of horrors). In other ...
Pros: This film will have you crying and laughing and cheering all the way through. Cons: None

Pros: acting, script, scenery, detail, humor Cons: not a thing
To gather together this small but accomplished cast of characters, 7 all told, and create this heartfelt drama is something that director Mark Rydell should be proud to admit.
The movie centers around three main characters, Norman &...
Pros: beautiful story, very realistic characters, splendid casting Cons: none
Two film giants, Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn, star as Norman Thayer, Jr. and his wife Ethel in this magnificent film. As the story opens, Norman establishes himself as a cantankerous, cynical old man. Norman is soon to celebrate his eightieth...
Are you looking for a fabulous movie to while away the moments as the falling leaves of Autumn drift in the cool breezes of the evening? I have a wonderful old classic that is still as fresh as the day it was made and a message attached that will...
Pros: Henry Fonda and Kate Hepburn are simply outstanding. Cons: Doug McKeon got my role...and, Jane Fonda seems a bit outplayed here.
It was 1980 -- I was twelve years old, living in Los Angeles. Although I lived outside of Westwood, I went to school in Santa Monica -- a desperate attempt by my parents to get me out of the then atrocious public school system. I was fortunate enough...
Pros: Stars Henry and Kate, and Director Mark Rydell Cons: I could have watched all night....
I know Norman Thayer Jr.. In fact, he's a friend of mine who I get to know better with each passing year. How do I know him? I know him because he (or a major portion of him) lives inside me and grows year by year.
Pros: Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn, beautiful scenery Cons: not a one
Mark Rydell captured the hearts and minds of us all after this directorial gem was discovered. Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn literally picked this film up, hoisting it up and onto their shoulders. While this was arguably one of Jane's best roles,...
I've started this review a dozen times, and each time, I end up deleting my attempts at an opening statement. I think the problem is that the film "On Golden Pond" can mean so many things to so many people. For some, it is the acceptance of...
"On Golden Pond" is a very special movie about a marriage and a love that have stood the test of time. Most of the films that have been made in the last 25 years about love and marriage seem to end up with the couple getting a divorce or...
Pros: Fonda, Hepburn and Fonda, luminous cinematography, great script Cons: I pity the poor soul who can find a single fault with this one
There are some movies that live in your memory forever. THE COLOR PURPLE comes to mind instantly for me as one of those movies. THE WIZARD OF OZ is perhaps another for many, including myself. These are movies that define a period in one's life, that...
Pros: The performances Cons: Too much detail is included, ignoring key aspects of the play in the process
The movie rights to ON GOLDEN POND were originally bought by Jane Fonda so that she and her father might get one chance, at least, to act together. Jane plays a woman who has recently initiated a new relationship with a dentist played by Dabney Coleman....
Pros: A movie full of love and laughs! Cons: the ending :(
I first saw this movie in the theater with my mother in 1981. I was eleven years old and was completely engrossed the entire time. Now, 20 years later, I've watched this movie at least 10 times or more. My fiancee and I know the words by heart so he...
This is a sweet love story with emotions, conflict, pain, resolution, and friendship. When I knew this was first a play, then I knew it would have wonderful dialogue, because plays rely on heavily on dialogue.
