A Happy Coupling of Solid, Dependable, Aging Thespians are given a Movie that does nothing to Challenge Their Abilities, in Fact it doesn't Challenge the Audience that much either.
The Plot is Interwoven with Enough Ingredients to keep the Interest as it Taxi's from Gracefully Aging in an ever Changing World, Interracial Marriage, Terrorism, Childless Families with a Pet Surrogate, the Volatile Real Estate Market (specifically NYC), and a Few Sprinkles on Top.
The most Charming Character comes in the Form of a Little Girl who is as Nice as Spice wearing both Naivete (turntables), and a Gift ("I know these things."). Her Part in the Story is very Brief, but Memorable. She is a Contrast to the other Characters that Bring with Them expected Adult Baggage.
The Movie is Warm, has some Edge, and is Obviously Targeted for the Multitude of Baby Boomers Populating America. It is not Jaw Dropping Insightful on Anything and is more of an Easy Going Slice of Life with some Human Drama Nicely Paced and Well Mounted.
Overall, it's a Slightly Better than Average Mainstream Movie with a Liberal Lean and is Inoffensive and Maybe even Medicinal for Medicare Members.
Note...Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton Fans will not be disappointed.
