    A Darling of a Film

    To really "get" this film, I think you or your spouse need to be over 50. Perhaps that was what was wrong with some of the professional reviewers because this is a very, very sweet, funny, honest film. At some points my husband and I laughed until we cried as we recognized bits of ourselves, friends or family members in the characters on the screen. We liked these characters, we adored the story and we'd see it again in a heartbeat.

    Better Movie Than I Expected!

    Most times trailers are much better than the movie
    In this case the trailers didn't do the movie justice
    Great chemistry between the cast
    And the story was much better than I expected
    Overall worth seeing....

    Keaton's Too Anxious, Kline's Doddering, But The Movie Is A Go.

    No blockbuster here. Just an entertaining, well executed play. The core premise plays longer than practical but the movie is good enough to have been made and distributed. The audience appeal is to an older demographic, thus its limited release. Still, if you like the players it's worth your time. Better a matinee ticket than full price but see it. It's not disappointing, just simple.
