A modern comedy that explores the simple truth that it's never too late to start over again. Even at age 50. We meet two long-time golf-buddies, Adam, going through a trial separation from his wife of 15 years and Jon, who is not only losing work to the 'young guy', but also dealing with a 'generous' prostate. They decide to take off on a weekend journey to let loose and re-live the Palm Springs get-a-way of their younger days but meet with unexpected results. Struggling to fit in with the younger crowd, they find surprising comfort through encounters with women nearer their own age. As the weekend progresses, both are forced to come to a truce with middle life's predicaments. A film that asks the question, "If fifty is the new thirty then why do my knees ache?" in what may be the world's first coming of age story... about the coming of age.

| User ReviewStephen BNicely restrained "little" indie film of guys reaching the point in their life when working assumptions are challenged. Mix of humor, light drama, some pathos. Some laughs out of situations, not of the "Hangover" variety. Quiet revelations rather than big explosions. As character study, a bit too superficial and pat, but sympathetic to its people. No one is grotesque for too long. BTW, the great Wendy Malick is not the star, and is only in a few nicely written scenes in the middle of the film. But she does provide a kick-start for the self-examination by Adam and Jon.. |
