"Emotionally manipulative. Bring tissues. Most of the audience enjoyed a good cry. You probably already know what you are getting into if you want to see this show. Good for families. Easy story to follow."

"Little chemistry between the generational couples except for the “old” couple in the second act.
Music is unmemorable
The empathy level of the head nurse was generally cold except for the very last scene.
My favorite character was the PT who showed youthful naivety yet professional and personal growth.
