Edgar Iván H This movie is an attempt to create a romantic story about elder adults, but I don't think Douglas and Keaton has a good connection, I don't see that spark and charm between them, they look like very forced to be in love. Douglas is not the kind of actor that can play this kind of roles, he lacks Charm, but Nicholson is way better than Douglas playing this type of role. The movie is not bad, but is not good as you may think due the actors are great Hollywood stars. The Movie also has some specific short moments of Racism and you can never have racism in a romantic movie. If the racism were managed with humor, that could fit in the movie, but Douglas is a very serious actor, he is not as good as comedian, In this case the movie has some deep good moments, but overall I can say this movie, has not been good as I expected. 6/10

islandstace If the comment about rape within the first few minutes of the film is not offensive enough, the unchecked and unchallenged racism and ethnic stereotyping finishes it off. I thought this was a terribly disappointing movie with downright offensive moments. While my expectations of Douglas are generally fairly low these days, I would have expected better from Keaton and Reiner.I cannot recommend this movie and hate I have to expend the energy to write 10 lines about a movie that wasted my time in the first place, just to have my review published. I hope other people agree the rape comment and racism was unnecessary and offensive.

wickbeaversphotographer Absolutely the most benthic waste of time a (so-called) film could be. There are NO redeeming features, the child actor should have chosen much more carefully before she jumped in. This movie is also proof an old actor like Keaton isn't as talented as we all once thought. Herein we discover can't act or sing! The oldsters acting like they're cute ought to be left taking Geritol in their temperature controlled Florida homes. Even the time taken to write this is awful, but I hope it spares anyone else from renting this POS. To Michael and Diane: if your agents talked you into this, you're both losing it. You are both senile! Find another agent. Shoot, I'll get you a better movie. Rob Reiner ought to be shot. And please leave birthing a child to your cosmetic dentist. Please, if you all decide to venture forth and stop being happy wasting geriatrics, pick a movie where you die off early in. I'd sign up to see that.

leonblackwood Review: This is your typical Rob Reiner Rom-Com about a grumpy old man (Douglas) whose trying to sell his house after sadly losing his wife. While his house is on the market, he decides to downsize and live in an apartment block, which he happens to own. His son visits him to tell him that he is going to prison and that he wants him to look after his young girl while he's away, but he declines because of his rocky relationship with him. As his son hasn't got anywhere to turn, he drops his daughter and there stray dog, off at his house and his next door neighbour (Keaton) kindly takes her in. He eventually grows to like his granddaughter and he falls for his next door neighbour whose has also lost her husband and is a part time singer in a bar. From there, you get to see a change in Douglas and the movie becomes a corny and predictable love story. The veteran actors put in average performances due to the storyline which wasn't that great. Rob Reiner tried his utmost to make the script witty and upbeat, but it became a bit boring when Douglas started to grow a heart. On the plus side, there are some emotional scenes with the little girl and her new found family, but I have seen this type of movie, many times before and they all end the same way. Average!Round-Up: I really don't know were the budget for this movie went because it's based around a small community with not that many actors. The director tried to keep it real by introducing the heroin addict son and the little girls mother who was also an addict, but it's a basic love story between Douglas and Keaton which has its ups and downs. Since the brilliant Godfather franchise. Diane Keaton has made the same kind of movies, which are based around the Rom-Com genre and are usually not that magnificent. Douglas has toned down his movies by primarily starring in comedies which haven't been that great, which is a shame because his films used to be massive blockbusters. Anyway, this film isn't one that will go down as one of the greats from Rob Reiner, who brought you movies like The Bucket List, A Few Good Men, When Harry Met Sally and the Princess Bride but I'm sure that it won't damage his reputation.Budget: $30million Worldwide Gross: $25millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their Rom-Com's about a grumpy old man who falls for his next door neighbour after she takes in his granddaughter because his son has to go to prison. 3/10
