The movie seems promising but once u start it its shocks u. Its so boring, nor funny and the director is beyond horrible. They leave all the beautiful scenery n focus on faces making us unable to see whats going on or where are we!
The story line is slow and its simply too much talk between the old man n his dog which shouldn't be a movie.
I wish they focused on the beautiful surrounding instead, it could've helped the viewers enjoy it a bit.
Try it yourself and see if u can find any fun in this film. For us its a total no and i should trust the rating as it has three and half star on prime tv.

I loved this movie. I recently saw another movie about an elderly curmudgeon "A Man Called Otto" with Tom Hanks. I stopped watching it after 20 minutes. It didn't ring true for me. Frank Langella's curmudgeon did. I laughed all the way through this movie. I suspect a person would need to be an elderly disaffected crank themselves to fully appreciate this film. I qualify. As of this writing, I am 8 months away from being 70 years old. I identified greatly with Mr. Langella's character. So unhappy with the changes in the world. Thank goodness, I am not as bitter or as angry as he. I felt sorry for his loneliness and isolation. I have been a fan of Mr. Langella since 1970, the year he starred in "Diary of a Mad Housewfe" and Mel Brook's "The Twelve Chairs". These two movies really showcased his talent and versatility. At 84 or 85 he won't be with us too much longer. He is still amazing. And I've been a fan of Stockard Channing since her 1973 TV movie with Ed Asner "The Girl Most Likely to..." I don't know how to describe Ms. Channing appeal. I have simply always felt it. Especially loved her in "Grease".
As I said in the heading, this movie is not for everyone. But, I would bet that most elderly, intellectually inclined men would enjoy it. "The Vanity of Human Wishes". I love it. And I loved this movie. I would have rated it an 8, but I wanted to counter the low ratings of reviewers who didn't get it.

I'm not sure this even counts as a movie. It seems more like someone fed boomer prompts into an AI chat bot and it spit out this whole movie. Like not even the script but the entire movie itself was just created and made inside the machine then pushed out slowly.
Nothing is funny or interesting. There's a talking dog for some reason that adds nothing, and is voiced by Cheech. The human can hear the dogs thoughts but for some reason has to reply to the dog audibly with dialogue. This is never addressed or explained.
The jokes are also not funny. Half the time there don't even seem to be any happening anyway - but the ones that are there are the most typical and dated old people comedy you can imagine. "I don't like loud things" is about 1/4 of the punch lines so if you chuckled at that - this may be the movie for you...

I actually BOUGHT this stinkeroo. Mostly for Mr. Langella, who pulled off a great job despite an absolutely abysmal script. Sadly, it had such promise that I watched from beginning to end, so I have twice earned the right to declare... this movie SUCKS!!!
Worst. Story. Ever.
In fact, I don't think this film presented a story. Or a point. Or anything funny at all.
Anyway, this one is about a guy with a talking dog who might be pissed off at his neighbor, who you will never see, while a woman sometimes swims nude without being nude outside his "island" home. All for various unexplained reasons. That's about it. PEE-YEW!
It's a beautiful flop though, which means the crew is awesome. I already said the players are awesome. So, this can only be a failure of artistic vision and leadership! Top rot!
Sheesh! How do you go wrong with Frank Langella????
PS - Mr. Langella, I hope you were well paid, sir. We don't blame you!

This is possibly the best movie I have ever seen. Everything about it wad perfect, from the acting to the cinematography. I especially love the script writing. Every joke lands perfectly and some even had me spitting out my popcorn. HOW EMBARRASSING! The characters are so well developed and memorable. Everyone one had a personality and I care about them deeply. My favourite characters had to be the one played by Jared Gilman (Moonrise kingdom). His performance was so nuanced and subtle. I feel like he was a metaphor for the hopes and dreams of a child. P. S could Jared link me up with Kara Hayward.
