I also highly reccommend that you watch "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", that or read the book, by the same author of "Tuesdays With Morrie". By the way, "Morrie" is an actual story, which made the book all the sadder.

What Parents Need to Know
About Tuesdays with Morrie
Parents need to know that this film contains mature emotional themes that deal mostly with Morrie's death from Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS). There are instances of mild profanity, and some derogatory statements about disabilities. Young children might be disturbed by scenes in the hospital as well as the film's conclusion.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the effects and conditions of Lou Gehrig's Disease. They may also want to venture deeper into talks about death and the "after life." What is Morrie trying to tell Mitch using his story about the little wave? What might the food Mitch continually brings Morrie symbolize? The media in this film is often portrayed in an unfavorable manner. This might be a good opportunity to discuss viewing television through a critical lens.
