Just Getting Started

I like Morgan Freeman. I like Tommy Lee Jones. I like Rene Russo. You wouldn't think that a movie starring all three of them would be so horrifically, awfully, painfully dislikable. Given a choice between sitting through this movie again and having my foot run over by a delivery van, I'd put my foot in the road and signal for the guy to back 'er up.

Really good actors doing the best they can with a really bad script

There's a good reason this came and went with so little fanfare, even with Shelton behind the camera and a can't-miss cast - this is not egregiously bad, and Freeman and Jones do a pretty good version of Lemmon/Matthau bickering, but everything feels so lifeless, even embalmed at times, which is a surprise from the usually fiery Shelton. One of those movies whose pedigree suggests it should either be a lot better or a lot worse!

Is not outstanding but entertaining. I would not even say funny but it has some laughs.
