Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

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.

It was refreshing to see older actors revealed as they really look. The acting was excellent, and the story entertaining though poignant. It was thoroughly enjoyed by three over-50 women. Brenda Vacarro is now a heavy-set woman. Dyan Cannon's face-lift is less than perfect, although her genuine sweetness shines through. Sally Kellerman bravely disrobes in front of the camera. Renee Taylor looks every bit her age. I would say the scenery is a good selling point for those seniors looking for a beautiful area in which to live, with activities a cut above the normal senior activities in most areas. It was not at all depressing, but a rather positive take on what life might be like for those over 60, with a good retirement package. There were plenty of laughs as well.

We start all of our reviews with the following information. My wife and I have seen nearly 100 movies per year for the past 15 years. Recently, we were honored by receiving lifetime movie passes to any movie any time at no cost! So we can see whatever we want whenever we want. The point of this is that CRITICS count for ZERO. Your local critics or the national critics like Ebert are really no different than you or me. The only difference is that they get to write about the movie and are forced to see hundreds of movies whether they want to or not.Therefore, it is our belief that if you get your monies worth for two hours of enjoyment that is good enough for us! We NEVER EVER listen or read the critics. We only care about our friends and those who we know like the same things as us. Well enough about that.If you a Floridian as we are, the movie is simply a perfect representation of life in Southern Florida. A very poignant and sometimes funny movie with wonderful actors. If you 50+ you will love it.

I saw this movie in Deerfield Beach, Fla. on the same day I visited relatives in Boynton Beach, two towns and about 10 miles north. It was highly recommended by these relatives. The story centers around a bereavement group consisting of seniors most of whom (about 8 out of 9) are females. The movie concerns the problems of dating and (what else?) sex, and it handles this pretty well, following three principal characters through their struggles and doubts. It tackles the problems of getting back on ones feet after the demise of a spouse, and perhaps starting a new relationship. The movie addresses the problems of both the men and the women, and does so thoughtfully and sympathetically. I thought there were a few false moments, contrived for effect, but on the whole it was an honest movie which held your attention throughout. The acting was fine, and I would single out Brenda Vaccaro for her fine acting. I rate the picture as a eight (very good), though I am tempted to add more points because it refrains from demeaning older folks and their problems.
