A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 7/10

Synopsis:

Sandy Kominsky’s life didn’t turn out the way he’d planned.  His dream of having a successful acting career was slowly and inexorably replaced with the reality of being a mere acting coach.  As played by Michael Douglas, Sandy is now dealing with the even harsher reality of being an old man in a youth-obsessed culture.  Clinging to his best friend and long-time agent Norman Newlander (Alan Arkin), the two men are forced to confront loneliness, health issues, the loss of loved ones, financial calamity, grown-up children with grown-up problems, and estrangement from a world that is undergoing constant and rapid change.  The Kominsky Method shifts quickly from laughter to tears, and back again to laughter.   It is a story of friendship.  A story of life.
