Go see it. It’s not going to win any Academy Awards but the subject matter is the kind that’s always worthy of attention, and it would be very hard to go wrong with both Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman in any script. Rob Reiner doesn’t. Morgan Freeman does funny outraged surprise like nobody else, and may be the best film narrator of all time. Jack Nicholson remains the singular talent that he has always been. Their friendship on screen is very well done. The back-and-forth between Nicholson’s character and his male executive assistant is good stuff too.
This dinner-and-a-movie night out was my third date with the woman I met at Rice a few weeks back and went to the Shakespeare Tavern with last week. That continues to be time well spent. As Forrest Gump would say “That’s all I have to say about that.”
