Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Chance to Shine in the "Role of a Lifetime"
Scott Bakula turns in a bravura performance in "Role of a Lifetime." The range of characters he demonstrates is reminiscent of his days in "Quantum Leap" - the man is amazing.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - This movie is good

Something else it really makes you think about is..."What will people say about YOU when you're gone?" ... Read More
