I was VERY SURPRISED when I saw the the low reviews and EXTREMELY negative things that was said about this movie. It isn't a Oscar winning time by no means, but it DOES NOT deserve the bad things that have been written here. The cast is really great and it's a fun and an enjoyable hour and a half. Like I said, it's no "barn burner" as far as innovation of movie plots, but it's funny at times and cute to see these actors can be silly and have a fun time. So to the others that are so mean and negative about it, LIGHTEN UP! It's a movie!

I read the reviews, but first I need to say that this is not my kind of movie. I ended up seeing it out of edition work.That being said, I found it quite nice and accommodating, for it is about old age and Christmas, and how things have a different feature when you know what is coming - fast in your case if you are at the end of your road. Great actors and actresses who are finally there - too old to rock'n'roll, too young to die - and that went on this movie for the pleasure of still be riding.If you expected anything different or more of it, the problem is yours - either you're not seasoned yet to appreciate the irony or just too out of your métier.

This is an APPALLINGLY bad film. The story line is totally unbelievable. It's 90 minutes of watching two men in their 70's trying to act like they are 50. They can barely walk. High speed chases, seducing women, snake wrangling and fight scenes....totally unbelievable from start to finish. Even the continuity is poor. When she is in the back of the van check out how the rope around her moves from her neck to her shoulders to her neck and then disappears. How the hell did they raise $22 million to make this drivel? The line "I got your girl" talking about Rene Russo who is 65 years old was actually the only time I laughed during this so called 'comedy'. I'm currently typing this while it's on.....I'm not missing much.

A woman wearing an ankle monitor in New Jersey sees Duke Diver (Morgan Freeman) on TV and orders a hit on him. He is the resident manager of a retirement community. He is the proverbial rooster in the hen house until Tommy Lee Jones shows up and challenges him for top honors. Rene Russo enters the picture as each man wants to "court her."The film was a light situational comedy, reminiscent of the 60's era. Good "clean" entertainment that has adult themes and situations. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
