...knocking on the wrong door anyway. What do people as privileged as Parrish and his family, at least as they are presented in Meet Joe Black, know about life? Mostly they are observed dressed to the nines, eating delicately prepared viands and enjoying life in either a Manhattan penthouse, where one prays the swimming pool does not spring a leak and ruin the library's first editions, or a riverside mansion, where the helicopter pad blends nicely into the landscape.

Most endearing in spite of his sleazy role is Stanley Tucci. Though the ending could read as a reproach to Grigoris, he ends up on top, reigned in if not transformed.

By the end, one is convinced of the justice of his scheme since even with his cheating, there remians genuine goodness in him.
