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.
This movie is so tone-deaf that it tries to wring charm from questionable stereotypes about senior citizens and minorities.
A not-terrific, not-terrible romantic comedy that owes most of its charm to its two stars.
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.
The movie's too-cute concept yields more rewards than you might reasonably expect.
Though the issues are heavy, the execution is light, enjoyable, but it keeps "Elsa & Fred" closer to "Sleepless in Seattle" than Fellini's deliciously deep Roman affair.
Audience Reviews for Elsa & Fred
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.
