At the risk of sounding a bit po-faced ...


What distresses me about this film (and the writer of the script), is that, as usual, elderly citizens are depicted as completely stupid and childish.

This is the generation that fought a World War against fascism, developed computers, modern medicines and put a man on the Moon!

I couldn't agree more. The majority of the elderly characters were one-dimensional and stereotypical.

Strong performances from Collins and Capaldi saved this film for me. Just.
