It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Best Day Ever doesn't start in the best of moods. David (Mel England) is arriving at 50 years old, and doesn't seem to have too many reasons to be content. He lives in the house of his boyfriend, someone that simply can't say that he's in love with him. His life is a mess. Being an independent film maker, he hasn't 'break through'. Although doing something he loves to do, everybody seems to advise him to leave the activity, starting something new. At fifty, he doesn't seem too much encouraged to doing so, and making films, despite the difficulties, is what he likes to do, alas! Then things start to grow better, as soon as he decides to make some changes in his life. He has some supportive friends, one of them much older than himself, who encourages him. And so thins go on, until he realizes that's he may be living his best days ever. Watch the film, I fell you won't get disappointed; at least if you're getting to some middle age crisis, as I do (I'm 57). The film leaves you with the impression that it's never too late to pursue your dreams, once you find the right persons to be with. It is somewhat different of the torrent of films we see about people in their twenties of thirties, who seem to have so much ahead of them, but it's a relieve.

If you reach your mid life crisis at 50 then you must be pretty immature to begin with. I thought a mid life crisis was supposed to happen at 40. Not in this film, which is basically one big vehicle for attention seeking on the part of the leading actor (an autobiographic character, representing Jeff London, the director of the film).We see this protagonist wallowing in his agony, for way too long, more than 3/4 of the film. I was waiting for the new young love interest to arrive, to stay, and stem the flood of misery that we're subjected to. But the protagonist continues lamenting the past, and the present, and what not. He fishes for compliments from the young guy by passive aggressively mentioning his older age incessantly. I can't stand it when he makes stupid voices or mincing faces and it's supposed to be cutesy, as if the young dude will really be turned on by that. I don't see why the young guy should feel attracted to the protagonist, since it's just all drama and moaning from the get go, and the protagonist ain't that attractive to begin with; he's just a whiny self centered bastard.Don't let the cover mislead you. This is pretty much a one man show of a miserable charmless man who has got a face like a slapped arse in every scene. The charming young redhead doesn't appear very often, despite him, being the best this film has to offer.

i have no idea what movie these reviewers saw. what i saw was a complete and utter let down. a totally boring mess. there was no chemistry between any of the actors. the exposition and back stories went on and on. i honestly didn't care about the 32 year-old farm boy's obsession with video games or Ace's 15 or so year old relationship. the first conversation at the dinner table with the lead and his muscle head boyfriend dragged on for what felt like 30 minutes (when in actuality, it was about 7!). that scene could have been handled better without all that dreadful talk. all he could have asked was 'do you still love me?' and the rest would have been quicker. but no. we had to get some silly crap about movie making ,health food talk, and turning 50..boo hoo!!. that scene alone was just one example of how bad the script was. it felt like reading a manic depressant's diary. and that does not a good movie make. this would have been much better as a short film.. say about 10 minutes or so. if you want to watch a perfect example of a short film turned into a long form film, watch 'the way he looks'.. it is a million times better than this mess.

Wow! I did not expect a lot out of this movie since most films in this genre are full of gratuitous sex and juvenile jokes. This is totally different and thus most refreshing. The story is simple but with superb acting and a very well written script, it delivers a sincerity and wit absent from most of Hollywood more expensive fare. The characters and their predicaments are extremely relate-able whether you're gay or straight. Mel England in the lead delivers with an exceptionally strong yet nuanced performance making it easy to watch and relate to his character. The supporting cast is also way above par. This could be Jeff London's best movie yet. Be ready to be moved and may be even cry a little. I usually find only Indie films can move me to tears these days. This one certainly delivers. Watch it with friends or someone you're romantic with. It will surely provoke thoughtful discussions afterward. Love it!
