Why so much hype?

Lack of good storyline.

Just perfect...

Don't listen to the negative reviews

I think many of the comments about the inappropriateness of Sally Kellerman's nude scene are unfair and frankly petty. Yes, she is a 70 year old woman, but ask yourself, how many women her age would agree to baring their breasts in a movie? The answer is only one who is so committed to the role that she is willing to take enormous chances, and possibly risk ridicule in the process. Her character is a wounded warrior in the relationship game and is clearly very vulnerable. And yet in spite of that, she puts that same vulnerability right out there for her new male friend to see, risking rejection in the process. Frankly, I'm happy to see an actress of integrity and commitment willing to put it all up there on the screen for those of us who enjoyed this movie. She deserves praise, not ridicule.

I saw this movie recently, And Just truly enjoyed the heck out of it. I recommend this fine flick to any baby boomer.......and I"m looking forward to purchasing it when it comes out on DVD......The comedy is true to life, the situations of aging baby boomer's living in Florida is just hilarious........ Diane Canon looks great for her age.........and puts on wonderful performance....................... and Michael Nouri....last time I saw him was in Flash Dance ......all those years ago............ His performance was just wonderful I highly recommend that you catch this fun movie you will leave the theater with a smile..........

This film is a surprise from many points of view - the greatest is that the cast is virtually all over 65 as am I. I was appalled to see how most of them have aged. Especially Cannon who seems to be plastic surgeon-ed out of her face - but that is beside the point. They all do a good acting job and I still - the next day - feel quite a bit about the film, as you can see. It is worth the price and the story line is not bad at all but there are a few empty spots without explanation, which might have been avoided. There is a little silliness - but that's OK. Growing old, as they say, is not for sissies and this film shows how much effort goes into just keeping a simple romantic relationship aflame after a certain age. I liked the film but did not love it. I did love the age of the actors. More, please.

Greetings again from the darkness. Director Susan Seidelman ("Desperately Seeking Susan" and "Sex and the City") has collaborated with her mother's real life experiences to create a surface look at life in an Active Adult Community.The Boynton Beach Bereavment Club exists in theory to assist with grieving and handling the loss of a loved one. In reality, it is more of a social club for elderly lonely hearts still looking for some action.I can't place my finger on exactly what is missing here, but despite the touching and humorous situations, the film has no real heart and soul. It plays out almost as a series of vignettes. Of course there is no plot as it is much more an observation on the lifestyle.The film is pretty well cast although I challenge you to not be a tad freaked out by the plastic surgery results of Dyan Cannon, Sally Kellerman and a couple of others. The best performances are from Len Cariou and especially Brenda Vaccaro. Joseph Bologna plays the same role he always plays and Michael Nouri (everyone remembers him from "Flashdance") plays Cannon's love interest with a ridiculous secret.There are some dark moments and some pretty funny ones as well. Vaccaro's performance is excellent and the film is definitely worth seeing despite it's overall lack of ambition at making any real statement. One last thing, excepting Eartha Kitt's classic vocals on "Santa Baby", this film may very well have the worst soundtrack in Hollywoood history.
