The movie was made too late


While this was never going to be an Oscar winning movie, it had the potential to be a silly movie you could enjoy and forget about afterwards. However the biggest problem is casting Diane Keaton, she is simply too old and decrepit to pull off the roll. Yes her character is supposed to be 70 but the rolled needed an actress that didn't move around like she one misstep from breaking her hip and that didn't need to have such ridiculous clothes to try and hide her pot belly. It became creepy and very cringe when she tries to make out with a 30 year old guy that looks more like her grandson. You could hear the people in the audience collectively gagging in that scene. A scene which could have worked if the role had been cast with a woman that was either younger or just didn't look so damned old. But having a 75 year old pounce on a 30 year old is as disturbing as what you would imagine it would have been to see Huf Hefner jumping on any one of the Playboy bunnies he was known to keep.
