I think many of these reviewers are prejudiced against an older cast

Was this a great film, no, but it was totally enjoyable to watch as I knew it had to be considering the cast. Not just Jones & Freeman, but Jane Seymour, George Wallace, Joe Pantoliano, & Glenne Headly in her final film. Sure it's a play on a plot that's been done before with a few twists, but with different players always different. If you want an hour & half of entertainment and aren't predisposed to think old folks are has beens, check it out.

Enjoyable Movie!

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!

It's a funny & silly movie

I don't care what anyone else says it's fun and entertaining fluff. It's not meant to be serious so just enjoy it. By the way, I want to go live there, yes sir I do...

A smile now and again, but nothing really funny.

An excellent cast who may have had nothing better to do than pay the bills. There are no laugh out loud moments, It seems to centre on older men being as competitive as young men, boys will be boys. But the whole plot and comic moments are so lame it never gets above mediocre. Not terrible, but not really worth watching.

Not as bad as people say!

Crazy how old so much of the cast is older then I know of them. I appreciate cheesy films once in awhile they are a perfect guilty pleasure to me! Such an odd story about greedy people and silly relationships; not much to it. I loved Glenne Headly unfortunate she passed away not long after this. I respect Ron Shelton's work as writer/director too.

Trivia
Next to the last film of Glenne Headly. She passed away at age 62 in June 2017, about 7 months prior to the film's release.

Goofs
Duke appears in a commercial on national television, something no one in the Witness Relocation Program would ever do.

Quotes
Leo: You wanna do something about that I'll beat you best of 5 of anything ever invented.

Crazy credits
"Glenne, we love and miss you."
