A US comedy drama in which an elderly couple go on a road trip to the Florida Keys.
Mirren and a dignified Sutherland remain fully committed to the characters and it is the affection we retain for them that makes this modest effort mildly endearing.
Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland play lovable oldsters on a road trip, with soppy, insufferable results.
Sentimentality and morbidity sit side by side. Thankfully, Mirren and Sutherland bring enough mischief, humour and passion to their roles to ensure that the film’s more toe-curling moments are quickly forgotten.
Continues a trend of serving up dumbed-down movies for seniors, as if IQ points suddenly drop post-retirement.
A funny and truthful look at growing old together.
A bumpy trip in places but a poignant one.
Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland do their best with this turgid terminal-illness road movie.
