Golden Years

On a wet August BH weekend I found this by chance...it put a smile on my face.

Surprisingly engaging, fast paced and taut story of the eldery fighting back again a society that has abandoned them which starts a but "get of my yard!" but soon develops a superb tone of proletarian rage.

Funny, poignant and intriguing, the police procedure aspect for once isn't dull and our heroes never stop being sympathetic.

The vibrant, sunny cinematography is appealing and I can't say I've seen much like it in a long while.

I am not convinced that it is feasible but the message that sometimes those who are breaking the rules are the good guys and those enforcing the law are not just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. The solidarity among the elderly people is nice too.

Superb movie to watch with your parents (though do mention a little sex too though) and not half bad for the kids either.

This was a film of gentle entertainment for people who like a cheery story and a pleasant viewing experience with a few laughs along the way.

If you like gritty crime drams, horror movies or deep and meaningful drama this will not be the film for you. If you would enjoy seeing the best of our stalwart British Actors still adding value in their latter years with a gentle story with an uplifting ending you might fare better.

A great soundtrack for baby- boomers. Look out for classic performances from the likes of Phil Davies who never fails to please.

I'd never heard of or knew about this film. I came across it on Netflix as I was looking for British films to watch.

If you like gentle British comedies/dramas similar to the Margery and Gladys film with June Brown and Penelope Keith, you'll love this. I'm not going to pull the film to pieces on improbabilities like some critics do, just watch it for the fun it is. There are many older British stalwarts of film and television in this and it's great to see them together here. I loved this film, though it will probably appeal to an older audience more than a younger one.

Just loved this movie. So entertaining with .great humour and superb experienced cast. The social commentary is perhaps less percepible with US audience but it is great. Very well written, directed, filmed and edited. Shame Tom Jones did not appear in person..
