Full Plot Details

Flash is a curmudgeon with a hankering for classic movies and booze. Cameron is a volatile teen who commits grand theft auto just because the car is an exact replica from Christine. Their relationship is forged in the darkness of a movie theater and fueled by a mutual appreciation of rebellion and cinema. Cameron enters a student film contest, though he lacks the resources of his peers. Learning that Flash is a retired Hollywood gaffer - and the only surviving crew member from Citizen Kane - Cameron follows him to his home at the Motion Picture Residence for the Elderly, a colony of aging film folk set aside by the industry. A quirky fellowship develops, in which Flash and his friends help Cameron make his film, and, in doing so, change his life.

Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 6/10 by Stephen HoldenMan in the Chair has few surprises. Once its machinery is humming, it settles into a soothing fable of a last hurrah.
Variety - 6/10 by Robert KoehlerAs a showcase for rising young star Michael Angarano and Christopher Plummer, pic offers the pleasures of connecting Hollywood traditions and generations in the spirit of Peter Bogdanovich's films about and inspired by the movies.
Chicago Tribune - 6/10 by Tasha RobinsonBy salvaging a troubled script with deep, committed, touching portrayals, Plummer and Walsh help prove Schroeder’s points about how Hollywood isn’t just the province of the rich, young and pretty.
TV Guide Magazine - 5/10 by Ken FoxWith its flashy, music-video style edits, rock-scored montages and septuagenarian cast, it’s hard to say who, exactly, is the right audience for this unusual comedic drama.
New York Daily News - 5/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanWe'll overlook the clichéd predictability of their partnership and note that Plummer, and M. Emmet Walsh as his lonely friend, are a pleasure to watch.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Nick PinkertonWalsh and Plummer are obviously pros, and they hustle to put across some patently ridiculous business, but, well, it's true about the polishing thing.
Empire - 4/10 by Damon WiseAs in Cocoon, the emphasis is on sentiment, feel-good and reclaiming the elderly from the scrapheap. But the performances are nowhere near as subtle.
New York Post - 4/10 by Kyle SmithIt's a cute idea that a better filmmaker than writer-director Michael Schroeder could have done a lot with.
Chicago Sun-Times - 4/10 by Roger EbertThe movie works so hard at juggling its cliches that it fails to generate interest in its story.
Chicago Reader - 3/10 by J.R. JonesThis indie drama spends a lot of time mooning over classical Hollywood cinema, but its own visual style tends toward the pointless flash of music videos.
