Pretty Good
Beautiful, moving film.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Really disappointed based on the potential of this movie with the cast assembled. So many great actors put to waste in this this completely unfunny agonizing film. Didn't even seem like any of the actors wanted to be there as they forced their way through their performances. Script was awful with barely a laugh throughout.
"Just Getting Started" was directed by Ron Shelton. It's his first film since 2003's and it shows that he isn't quite on his A game. For the actors, this is one of those films where it's obvious that everyone involved is in it for the paycheck. There is no life to this senior comedy, not whatsoever. Whats worse is that movie really goes down the drain in the final thirty minutes, when it suddenly becomes an action movie. Don't waste your time on it, because it is a laugh less comedy, an excitement-free action picture and an unromantic love story.4/10
MORE REVIEWS AT booksequalhappiness.blogspot.comREVIEW: You'd think that a movie starring Tommy Lee Jones and Morgan Freeman would be at least alright but you'd be wrong. The story wasn't something new. It wasn't funny or entertaining. The only thing that I liked was Leo's Red Ford Ranger (it was beautiful af). I don't remember much of what happened which is probably because my brain didn't want to keep it. SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Absolutely, not. WOULD I WATCH IT AGAIN: Absolutely, not.
I don't care what anyone else says it's fun and entertaining fluff. It's not meant to be serious so just enjoy it. By the way, I want to go live there, yes sir I do...
