Heartwarming story of an old man on a journey to see his ailing brother, who he hasn't spoken to in years. The man (Richard Farnsworth) can't drive a car, so he drives his lawn mower across the state and meets various interesting people along the way. Even though the movie is G rated, it's worth a watch because it's directed by one of my favorite directors, David Lynch. There are some well-known Lynch touches in the film. Not a bad movie, but I was expecting more.
