A Creche do Papai 3

Let me lead off with being a fan of nearly every performer in this movie. I've seen, and gone out of my way to see, most of these actors works, whether it be on TV or the big screen. I know family friendly comedies will be safe, middle-of-the-road and take few risks so I watch it with all these expectations. Safe but entertaining, amusing and a chance to see some faces you don't see much these days (Hal Linden, Julia Duffy, Barry Bostwick, George Wendt, James Hong, Linda Gray). The idea of a stymied author making some much needed money on the side by taking in various elderly folks in the neighborhood so they can also keep his newly-moved-in father-in-law (Danny Trejo) company is fine. However, some of these folks aren't that old, yet they have them behave...across the board...as decrepit, frail, clueless, just out of it. Take every old person stereotype you can think of, it's here. Take every old person "joke" and it's them. The writer of the movie seems to have forgotten that old people don't think of themselves as old, most of the time. They are just people that sometimes get held back by their age, but their interests and desires are not "old". The people in this were young in the 60s, 70s and 80s, but they don't use references or show interests that reflect that. Again, it's just really rough, broad stereotypes, skeletons of characters never fleshed out. A movie that could have been Grumpy Old Men (and Women) on steroids becomes a cringe-worthy exercise in laughing *at*, not with, the elderly. The cast deserved so much better than this.

I really liked this movie. It's difficult sometimes to find a movie like this that the whole family can watch. It was very funny and I liked the actors--they really drew me in. There wasn't a dull moment in this movie and it kept my attention throughout. It was so good to simply relax, not have to worry about violence or swear words, and you can learn from the characters as well. I'm looking forward to seeing more movies like this.

It's a movie where you put your feet up and " vegetate " . It's not Oscar worthy but its entertaining and touching. I thought it was fun.

Obvious, it is one of films who use the story only for put together great famous actors. And being an admirer of Linda Gray, not matters for me too much the story, the bonus being the nice chemistry betheeen her and Danny Trejo.

A film about old people, oldness, a middle age guy and , inspired by his father in law, he creates , in his house, a day care center for seniors. Sure, the tone is not exactly polite and the themes more than sensitive, but , against crazy perspective about venerable person state - the image of dementia of Eduardo Hernandez is awfull, it works for cast, clowns and so familiar Ned Tooley from near reality .

So, not great performances but nice actors.

Dan trejo is eduardo, father to frank (reno wilson), who is father to jordan. And now that eduardo is out of the joint, all three generations will be living under one roof. Hijinx ensue. Frank comes up with the bright idea of setting up a senior day care, but he didn't know how wacky and needy they would be. It gets pretty silly. And frank keeps falling on his butt. Lots of chuckles. With a side of serious thrown in...when eduardo starts to have episodes where he doesn't know where he is. Some fun co-stars. Hal linden, george wendt, julia duffy, garrett morris. Directed by ron oliver. It's ok... pretty weak script; with all that acting talent they hired, they should have provided a better script for them.
