Baby Boomers Left Out...

I tho't the film was O.K. Loved seeing some of the famous older actors.

But when are we going to be able to see a film about Baby Boomers (the first year of the Boom was 1947, so most, if not all, of the stars of the film were born in the generation before that)?

Things nowadays change so rapidly. Thus, people born in, say, 1947 can't really relate to people born in 1938. They lived completely different lives. The Baby Boomers have always been a lot more "hip": Most smoked pot and ingested hallucinogenics when they were in their 20s, most probably tried homosexuality a wee bit, and many women Baby Boomers never got or stayed married and / or didn't become mothers due to the huge influence of feminism in the mid 1960s, so they didn't end up with lives this affluent ('cause men have most of the money, as usual). Where are the stories about these people?

I applaud Susan Seidelman for doing this movie, as a kind of homage to her mom and dad and their generation, but what about the Baby Boomers? We look at people like Dyan Cannon and cringe! (As others have said, WAAAY too much plastic surgery, and waaay too thin!) And we look at guys like Len Cariou and cringe at the tho't of having sex with this guy who looks like our grandfathers!

Michael Nouri, born in 1945, is not a Baby Boomer. But he was the only really attractive older man in the movie. He is hardly representative of men born 1945 or later. He is an actor, and looks like one. He's the fantasy guy.

Why can't movies have just pleasant looking leading guys in their late 50s, early 60s in films? Aren't there any without huge pot bellies and just pleasant faces?

Interestingly, the perhaps oldest of the lead men in this movie, Joseph Bologna, looked the best. Where are other leading actors of his generation who can look pleasant and real?

I pray someone truly of the early Baby Boomer generation brings out a film that speaks to this largest glut in the American population ever seen.
