Cocoon was a good sleeper movie for it's time. Take a bunch of old, washed up actors and throw them together in a film that turns out to be entertaining to all ages.
Wilford Brimley is great and so is Don Ameche, Hume Cronyn and Jack Guilford and Brian Dennehy and Steve Guttenberg. The old guys (and gals) seem to all work well together. I loved the storyline and the humor and the touching, sad side as well. Those of us who have or had grandparents at the time can relate to their aches and pains and wish that they really could live forever and never get old and never die. WOW...what a planet that would be!!
Most movies dealing with the elderly turn out to be depressing or boring, but this hit home with everyone. It gives everyone who is sick or aging hope.
