"Life is a House" tells of a dying architect (Klein) who razes his dilapidated shanty and builds a new home. The house in "...House" is a metaphor..tearing down the old, building the new, putting asunder old regrets while erecting a legacy for those left behind. Entertaining though contrived, "...House" sports a solid cast, doesn't get too weepy or sappy, is full of poignancy, and sanitized for audience protection. In the final analysis, "...House" delivers good old fashioned three star Hollywood entertainment which will be enjoyed by all but the most cynical.
