Synopsis: Jack, a 25 year old Jersey guy is scared... of moving out of his parents house... of marrying his girlfriend of seven years... of spending his life working in the nursing home...of eighty year old... Jack, a 25 year old Jersey guy is scared... of moving out of his parents house... of marrying his girlfriend of seven years... of spending his life working in the nursing home...of eighty year old Helen with whom he engages in a daily battle not to pull the fire alarm. On a rare trip into the "foreign territory" of New York City, Jack and his pal Merle talk their way into a hip downtown club. Wearing his best plaid shirt he fails to impress anyone, except a glamorous model, who happens to think taking care of old people is just about the nicest thing a person could do for a living. Totally smitten by her attention, Jack embraces her world. He feels guilty about cheating on his girlfriend, but he looks so good in his new Valentino suit! His buddies in the nursing home, impressed by Jack's ballet of deceit and self discovery, live vicariously through him. He's got to make a choice. But something's not right... as he discusses this new turn of events with his father, he realizes there is more to the old man than meets the eye. -- © Castle Hill Productions [More]

Made by people who had the means to produce a movie, but not the talent necessary to produce a good one.

More reflective of good intentions than actual talent.

We're supposed to find this loser [Jack] likable?

Monotonously paced and too long.

This poky, character-driven comedy gets up-close and a little too personal with Jack Sheldon.

Droopily unravels as partial homage to the Balki Bartokamous school of bad acting before collapsing into a mess of fragmentary sermonizing on deceit, commitment, and the meaning of choice.

Obnoxious to the point of being emetic.
