Featured reviews
At almost 90 when this movie was filmed William Shatner belies his age and gives a delightful performance, ably supported by Jean Smart who in spite of being almost 70, was still the sexiest woman in the film. Others have explained the plot, it's no classic that's true, but for an easy to watch, not too long, mildly amusing little trifle, it ticks all the boxes, just sit back and relax and watch some old masters at work, and the Palm Springs scenery doesn't hurt either. I found it a refreshing and relaxing change from most of the high octane garbage that's churned out these days!
There are some negative reviews on here, and they're of course entitled to their opinion. This isn't a great movie, nor does it have a great script, nor does it have great acting or great production value. It IS a fun movie, and it isn't pretentious in trying to be anything but that.
I watched this with my 94 year old mom during the Covid lockdown, and we both enjoyed the story of a man realizing that he's getting (more like gotten) old. At his age, he still has fun, finds love, and it's (again) a simple message to enjoy life. You'll be disappointed if you have any other expectations.

This was a most pleasant surprise. A romantic and funny comedy involving older people. So refreshing! Shatner and Smart deliver heartfelt and humorous performances. Supporting cast was also really great. If you want a feel good movie that doesn't take itself too serious...this is it. And Palm Springs backdrop is a bonus!
A comedy in which William Shatner plays an older gentleman who loses his driving licence after some dangerous driving. Christopher Lloyd plays his best friend.
The film follows his experiences managing without a car, about losing his freedom, about finding love (much) later in life.
It's not a great movie, honestly. Shatner is likeable enough but the plot is very mediocre.

Old Man and ex-pilot about town has his wings clipped and ends up in the company of local lady baker.
Will he grow up and settle down? Will he cast aside the younger California candy for true love?
It's delightful fluff and shouldn't be examined too closely or too harshly.
Bill Shatner and the cast are a delight, the script works well, and the surroundings are comforting.
Not challenging, thankfully... just fun.
