A sobering look at old age, all the big questions and learning that reaching out to others and making a positive impact in the lives of others is... ll the best way to go. Michael Caine was made for this role, he was great. A flawed but darn good and quite moving film. Full Review

Great acting, great movie. Tired of the rock 'em, sock 'em movies always getting the acclaim when movies that have actual acting in them get... . This is a moving movie about life and how being elderly and youthful are beautiful. It will make you laugh and cry. Michael Caine should get the Academy Award for this one. Full Review

It is also hard not to see remnants of a younger Michael Caine -- beautifully seductive and enigmatic all those years ago in "Alfie." He has said his wife cried when she saw the performance; you understand why.Full Review

Blending humor and heartbreak in a performance that makes a small movie a richly satisfying one, Caine truly is magic.Full Review

While Caine and young Milner make for amusing adversaries, it's nice to see Crowley paying respect to his elders by populating the retirement home with a number of familiar faces, including those belonging to Rosemary Harris, Sylvia Syms and longtime "Coronation Street" resident Thelma Barlow.Full Review

I can't really recommend the film, unless you admire Caine as much as I do, which is certainly possible.Full Review
