Beautiful, moving film.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

To be honest, i don't understand why this movie even exists. I went to see this movie with my friend only about a week after it came out, there were two other people in the theater, and they did the smart thing by leaving not even halfway through the film. I don't know how to even begin on how bad this movie is. The plot, if you even want to call it that, consists of Grandpa trying to get his groove on. I can understand how this might appeal to some viewers,as long as those viewers are senior citizens. But nobody under 65 wants to see old people trying to "do it" Granted their were a few funny moments in this film, but the lack of plot, old exposed bodies, and just lack of overall togetherness completely outweighed the two scenes of comedic relief. The one thing that did not completely bomb about this film was the acting, all in all the acting was not horrible considering that the majority of the actors were more "seasoned" On a more gentle note I can understand what the director was trying to do, trying to show how becoming old is difficult, loss of loved ones, companionship for older citizens etc, but why it was even put into a movie is beyond me, like I said before nobody under 65 would want to waste time watching this garbage.

I love finding these little treasures, surprise movies that somehow slip by unnoticed, most undeservedly. What I thought was going to be a background noise movie randomly selected on a movie channel fast became totally absorbing, humorous and touching at the same time. As we are dealing with an older generation, empathy comes not from relating to age, but the social situations presented from a common bond, and never forces the viewer to judge. It's not a lengthy journey in concept, the time of life the characters (and cast) was the keystone to the story of course, but it was not necessary to set up a background for each character, as they instantly became recognizable. I relished every scene with Brenda Vocarro and Dyan Cannon, movie magic together, but never lost interest for the rest of the ensemble. This film is endearing, funny, never beyond the realms of reality. Although I noticed other comments mentioning moments that were either not necessary or empty, these were mere interludes for me which helped build the anticipation of what will happen next. I think a viewers age is totally irrelevant towards this also. Well done cast, well done Susan. I would dearly love to see a sequel or new movie with the same cast. P.S. Dyan you look great, keep making more movies honey.

OK, now that I've got your attention. This is actually a very touching movie, in the "In Her Shoes" genre. The screen goddesses I've worshiped have either gotten fat (Brenda Vaccaro, Renee Taylor) or undergo mega plastic surgery (Dyan Cannon). Somehow I just can't turn away but not because it's like a car accident. It's appealing in an honest sort of way. For example, recently widowed Len Cariou brings club vamp Sally Kellerman to an early bird all-you-can-eat buffet on their first date (because that's where he and his wife used to eat). Who hasn't made that mistake trying to impress someone. And Sally Kellerman reprises her topless scene from MASH forty years later (sag and all)...that's got to be forth the price of admission.Between the hilarious moments in the movie, I couldn't help but think "Didn't Michael Douglas date an older woman Brenda Vaccaro back in the 70s?" or "Didn't Frank Sinatra marry a young Dyan Cannon once?" NOTE: This movie probably won't make any money at the box office but mark my words, it'll probably become a cult classic a decade down the line, like "Office Space".

I had the chance to see this in April with my father in, naturally, Boynton Beach. The matinée showing (with seniors as ushers) was sparsely populated with some of the local seniors and one or two middle-aged children (like myself) of those seniors on their annual Passover pilgrimage to see Mom and/or Dad and get away from the cold, rainy weather that was infesting much of the rest of the country.The story is about loss and love in a community of seniors. As you would imagine in an area with retirees, people die, their widows/widowers have to pick themselves up and move on, and find new companionship and occasionally love as the process of life goes on.It is a great ensemble comedy with many actors and actresses who were big names back about 20-30 years ago. It was quite interesting to see how many of these people whom I grew up watching at the theaters had aged.What I fail to understand is why this movie has not been released outside Florida. The story is just as relevant in Phoenix, Palm Springs or anywhere senior citizens are dealing with the sometimes "golden" years.Please, tell your local arts theaters to get this movie into their rotation. It is a pleasant film, and certainly more entertaining than horror movies such as the Gore harangue on alleged global warming looks to be.
