Unlike so many American remakes of foreign films, this reboot improves on the original, mostly because it takes full advantage of the star power of its English-speaking cast. Dec 18, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4

This movie is so tone-deaf that it tries to wring charm from questionable stereotypes about senior citizens and minorities. Nov 7, 2014 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

A not-terrific, not-terrible romantic comedy that owes most of its charm to its two stars. Nov 7, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

A bland and formulaic tale of two senior citizens who discover that it's never too late to fall in love - which may well be true, but doesn't keep this rickety recycling of a 2005 Spanish-Argentinean comedy from feeling long past its sell-by date. Nov 6, 2014 | Full Review…

This story of love in the autumn of life is not without its charms, though it takes a crisp and well-judged performance from Plummer to balance MacLaine's shrill extravagance. May 16, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Considering the CVs of all involved (not least Radford, who was Oscar-nominated for Il Postino) this remains little more than a gooey footnote. May 4, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It is fatally lacking in wit and conviction, often playing more like a television sitcom than something that deserves a place on the big screen. May 1, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Nice movie about an older couple. I didn't really expect to get into it, but it was actually really well done and Shirley MacLaine is still so beautiful to watch onscreen. I didn't realize until I looked it up that it's a remake of a foreign film, actually that made sense in how this one plays out. It wasn't your standard American film at all. I dare say the original is better (aren't they always?), but I haven't seen it, so I can only rate this as I find it. Quite moving in places. I loved the scene at the end where Elsa finally visits Rome, but it was sad too.

I hated Elsa.... she was very immoral in my opinion. She made Fred happy and brought him out of his shell so that was the only good part of the movie.
