Reviewed on 2008-04-25 A family divided. On Golden Pond is a sentimental favorite for me. Henry Fonda and Jane Fonda are just heartbreaking together, you could feel the tension and sadness in their peformances. Katharine Hepburn is a gem as well, I really like her in this film, her vulnerable side is her ace in the hole. This film won best picture and Henry Fonda received his first Oscar shortly before he passed away. On Golden Pond shall move you to tears, get the tissues ready!

Reviewed on 2008-03-07 wonderfull Now this movie was well worth buying not only was it funny but sent a very warm message to any mothers heart.

Reviewed on 2008-03-01 wonderful One of the best movies of all times. Everyone needs to see, its great and so realistic.

Reviewed on 2008-02-12 Superb acting by Fonda and Hepburn Fonda and Hepburn won Oscars for this movie. This film gave Fonda his only Best Actor Oscar. It is a great story about an old couple who are take care of a teenager while their daughter goes on vacation with the boy's father. The acting is phenomenal, superb, excellent and every other synonym. One should play close attention to the relationship on camera between the characters of Jane (who plays the daughter) and Henry Fonda. Jane Fonda actually bought the rights of the movie so that her father could play the lead. Jane has said that this film help resolve many issues between father and daughter. This movie also marks the first time Hepburn and Henry Fonda worked together. During the movie he wears a hat which belonged to Spencer Tracy. Hepburn did all her won stunts, including the diving into the cold water (she was an adept swimmer). The movie is just great, it is very well acted, it has an amazing story and it is a classic.
