Featured reviews
A comedy in which William Shatner plays an older gentleman who loses his driving licence after some dangerous driving. Christopher Lloyd plays his best friend.
The film follows his experiences managing without a car, about losing his freedom, about finding love (much) later in life.
It's not a great movie, honestly. Shatner is likeable enough but the plot is very mediocre.

A very sweet romcom. Pleasant, feel good movie with a number of chuckles. William Shatner, Christopher Lloyd and Jean Smart are always a delight and they are given plenty of room to be themselves. There are worse ways to spend your time.
It's like one of those later late great Burt Reynold'$ films he did with another great Charles Durning... The film is set in a beautiful place that just fills you with happiness. Shatner may have a gut but he hasn't aged a bit since 1994... Nearing 91 and he doesn't look to be slowing down. His body language and mannerism isn't that of a geriatric man. I just can't believe the way he moves, and communicate is 90.
There are some negative reviews on here, and they're of course entitled to their opinion. This isn't a great movie, nor does it have a great script, nor does it have great acting or great production value. It IS a fun movie, and it isn't pretentious in trying to be anything but that.
I watched this with my 94 year old mom during the Covid lockdown, and we both enjoyed the story of a man realizing that he's getting (more like gotten) old. At his age, he still has fun, finds love, and it's (again) a simple message to enjoy life. You'll be disappointed if you have any other expectations.

At almost 90 when this movie was filmed William Shatner belies his age and gives a delightful performance, ably supported by Jean Smart who in spite of being almost 70, was still the sexiest woman in the film. Others have explained the plot, it's no classic that's true, but for an easy to watch, not too long, mildly amusing little trifle, it ticks all the boxes, just sit back and relax and watch some old masters at work, and the Palm Springs scenery doesn't hurt either. I found it a refreshing and relaxing change from most of the high octane garbage that's churned out these days!
