Checking Out (2005) - Details

"Checking Out," a slight but lightly amusing sitcomsitcom-style comedy, strongly recalls dinner theater fodder of three decades ago. Based on an obscure legiter that actually had a fleeting Broadway run in the mid-1970s, pic boasts engagingly an flamboyant performance by Peter Falk as a nonagenarian Shakespearean who plays for laughs while casting himself and his offspring in a jokey off-stage twist on "King Lear."
