Wow! Such a good movie.

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Admirable film.

This film is about two old fuddy-duddies driving each other marriage crazy after all these years. No bombs, no murders, no guts, no hot disgusting senior sex or fumbling trysts, just good ol' times at the end of their lives while still hitting on contemporary racial, social and political issues.To all you youngsters or wannabes who hated this movie because of no porno, no graphic violence or sensational blood lusting, then just go enlist in the army and get what you rally want first hand. Good luck.Also a great subplot with their only child, Dorothy, their dog. These two oldsters still got what it takes after all these years. Congrats to you both.

The movie had potential...but I ended up falling asleep 20 minutes in. There was not much of a storyline, they had some cute, sad, funny parts- but not enough to keep me entertained. I was hoping with Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman there would be a great movie, their acting is great, and they played their part. But the sad thing is that there was not a lot to work with. The book hopefully was better, as I did not even see an ad for this movie- which means it did not generate enough reviews or popularity. In whole- a couple after 40 years looks to selling their apartment- right then and there that is the entire basis of this movie- no great dialogue or parts that make you want to watch. I never fall asleep watching a movie- and I dozed off. When I woke up- I rewinded to where I last was and realized I did not miss one single thing. I'd skip this movie unless you really like long...dull...movies.

Excellent movie! I think a lot of the reviewers perhaps are under 40 yrs old or are so uptight like the buyers and sellers in this film...??? Perhaps? What a shame they are missing out on "the view" here as well. But it is so beautiful, that even a child can see it. A child (& a dog being trained) that are dragged through the hectic non-stop lives of their parent(s) what a shame for this and shame on you if you are too busy in your own life and career to enjoy a refreshing movie like this-SLOW DOWN!!! Enjoy the simple things in life before it is too late, or your life slows down from a pointless accident because of exhaustion hectic schedules and lack of sleep/ but if that does happen rent this flic on Redbox and watch it from your hospital bed while recuperating because then, your eyes will be open and you will have a 2nd chance to enjoy this & your own life. It is a whole generation of people similar to the gallery owners son in this movie that are missing the point: Stop & smell the roses, there is more to life than money and pleasing the masses, and being miserable with your hectic lives that you fail to create memories as Morgan & Diane portrayed in his film. Thank you for this! And your wonderful Film Morgan!!!

The movie is about an old couple who wants to sell their apartment because they're tired of walking 5 flights of stairs every day, and finally end up not moving because it turns out they liked their old apartment. But nothing interesting happens in the meantime, besides their dog getting sick and recovering at the end. No humor, no conflict, no drama, no intense moments. You expect something will happen, but it doesn't. The plot is completely flat and mundane. Even the message it tries to convey (how sentimental value is more important once you reach a certain age), it does it poorly. The only thing worth watching this movie are the beautiful shots of New York.
