It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

I saw this about a year back with my family. The plot wasn't hard to follow, a lot of the shots were good, and aside from the weird joke about Morgan Freeman smoking a joint, which wasn't really too bad, it was a well-flowing story the whole way through. I felt that our money was well-spent and, if you ever find this on DVD somewhere, even if it's at the bottom of the bin, go for it. I don't know why this has a 6.6/10 of ten currently.

Whilst this is never going to make the top ten movies ever made, cinema should be diverse and offer the viewing public and the elderly acting fraternity opportunities to make solid movies that are simply there to be enjoyed. Consider this though; where are these films for elderly actresses? There are countless movies featuring old established actors at the wrong end of life (Last Vegas etc) and doing something about it. The fabulous Ann-Margaret looks better at her age than any of the principal male leads so if looks were a factor that argument is defunct. Ask yourselves - could this movie work with three women principals. I reckon it could

All these films and tv shows that are making reference to the corruption, greed & illegal and immoral actions of the wall st banks & corporations, are a great start. Through movies like this, people are starting to realise that most of humanity is on the side of the normal people; the challenge is to find a leader who will lay down the law rather than have dinner and get a cut of the profits from the 1%.
Unfortunately this film does not explore very far. In true American individualistic culture, the mentality seems to be that if the rich are going to steal and get away with it, then we may as well do the same. In some ways this is only a parody, but what is said always contains the feelings ideas & opinions of creators, at least to some degree.
We need a spreading of wisdom. Does democracy mean that corporations and the extreme rich are free to keep all they have even when others go without the basics of food, clothing, water, medicine? Democracy when all humans on this planet has a voice, will call for a major overhaul: that the basic necessities of life be provided to all, not just to those who have $ in the bank.
It is a good start though. Hopefully it will get people thinking. Robbing banks is not the solution. People struggling while corporations post bigger & bigger profits is not the solution. So then we start to think about how all people on earth have a voice to demand that all basics be provided for by government & those individuals & corporations with extreme wealth.

I have a distaste for remakes but every once in a while they work.
The 1979 original had a great cast with Lee Starsberg, Art Carney and George Burns. The bar was set high, but if you can find an equally talented cast Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin you might just pull it off.
Add a supporting cast with Ann Margaret, Christopher LLoyd and Matt Dillon and you have a recipe for success.This is an enjoyable film that is well worth watching.
