Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

leonblackwood Review: This is a very sweet movie about a elderly couple who fall in love after bumping into each other in there apartment block.The man, played by Christopher Plummer, is quite a stubborn fellow who moans about any and everything. The woman, played by Shirley MacLaine, is a happy go lucky lady who gets the most out of life and lives in the fantasy world of film. When Plummer moves into her apartment building, she tries her utmost to get his attention but his difficult ways makes the task a uphill struggle. When they both finally admit there feeling for each other, the movie switches into a beautiful love story which is played extremely well by these two veteran actors. It was great to see George Segal back on the big screen alongside James Brolin who hasn't been on the big screen for some time. I've always been a fan of Shirley MaClaine because of her acting style, which is natural and realistic. It does take some time to get going because of Plummers refusal to get out of bed but it's an emotional movie which made me laugh in parts. Watchable!Round-Up: These Veteran actors really do put these young and upcoming actors to shame! Shirley MaClaine, who still can pull out a great performance at the age of 81, is brilliant at mixing comedy with emotional drama and it's good to see her back on the big screen. Christopher Plummer is also doing well at the age of 85 and after winning the Best Supporting award at the Oscars in 2012, he's finally earning the respect that he truly does deserve. The director, who also made Beginners and Thumbsucker, has only made 10 movies in his career but he has to be the man whose responsible for bringing Christopher Plummer back the mainstream. He done a great job with this film and he definitely got the most out of the actors but the ending could have done with a rewrite.Budget: $10million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into their drama/love stories about an elderly couple who fall in love with each other after meeting up in there apartment block. 4/10

dancinqueen47 I've seen several movies about older people falling in love & have enjoyed most of them. I suppose that's why Netflix recommended this one, guessing that I'd LOVE it! Boy were they off this time! I had a huge problem with the Elsa character who was, IMO, a contemptible, pushy, pathological liar and overall whack-job! And poor Shirley looked just awful! I realize she's elderly, but good grief, there are things they could have done with camera angles, focus, lighting and wardrobe that would have improved her appearance. It looked like they applied her foundation with a trowel! And rarely, if ever, is long hair flattering to women from about age 60 and up - and hers looked like a cheap wig, to make it even worse! If I was Shirley, I'd sue them for making me look so horrible. I found the whole thing implausible because to start with, among the folks in this age group, decent looking widowers who are financially secure and mentally sound - as the Fred character was - are in very short supply. In reality, a Fred would not be so lonely or so desperate that he'd settle for someone who acts and looks like an Elsa.It saddens me that two great old pros, like Plummer and MacLaine have apparently been reduced to starring in this kind of inane garbage.I honestly wish I hadn't watched this and I recommend that nobody else watch it.

goodone49 This movie wanted to set a mood and lure us in to the depression of old age while extracting us with the allure of romance. However, the movie just falls short. The mood is never quite right. The writing is sub par, and the acting (other than Shirley Mclain) is equally substandard. Not even Shirley can raise up such a bad movie. The plot was overly predictable, and in general, this one should be skipped. The reason you probably never heard about is that is just isn't good, which is unfortunate, because it had so much potential. Instead watch "Wrestling Earnest Hemmingway" for a much better version of spicing up life among older individuals.

Tony Heck "Somethings are priceless." Elsa (MacLaine) is an older woman who isn't happy with anyone or anything. When recently widowed Fred (Plummer) moves in next door the two become fast friends. The friendship develops into more and the two find out that it's never too late to find love. Until Elsa's life turns out to not be what Fred expected. The first thing I have to say is that this was a pretty good movie. Plummer and MacLaine have great chemistry but that is to be expected from two legendary actors like them. The fact that those two are in it is the reason that the movie rises above being a cheesy cookie cutter love story. There really aren't any real surprises in this and goes pretty much how you would expect. All that said I am 35 and this movie isn't really geared toward me at all. I'm sure an older crowd will relate to this better and they will probably find it more enjoyable than I did. Overall, a movie that was OK and I liked it but if I was 40 years older I probably would be able to relate to this better and love it. I give it a B.
