Kevin Kline as George MonroeJohn Pankow as Bryan Burke
This 2001 emotion-fest is about an architectural drafter/model maker who finds out he has cancer and is given a few months to live. He quits his job, decides to build the house he always wanted to build and reconnects with his troubled son, ex-wife, nosy neighbors, and anyone else who is willing to give him a hug. The story is predictable, the acting is mediocre, and the architecture is craftsman, but dammit, they got me. I did cry, but only a little bit, I swear.
George is about to find out he has ill. The rumors are true: zap-a-gap and accelerant do give you cancer.
After production ended, they had to demolish the house and restore the site to its natural habitat. One LEED pt achieved. 
i like the movie "Life as a House" is my favorite
ReplyDeletethank for the website
They didn't "demolish" the house. They disassembled it and re-assembled it along with an expansion to make it the library for a SoCal Elementary School. I've been trying for a while to find the floorplan for the house or more interior shots but alas no luck yet.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great movie and story , so I think that is very important do the same things in a real life , because it would be a change to many people.
