movie of old people, for old people, and by old people


They all look like 70 years old!
Would have not been so creepy if they stopped pretending they're younger.

This move is going to bomb

Well, the 3 main leads are all middle-aged, not 70. And I actually had to cancel plans to see the flick last Saturday, when a screening was sold out.

biggest bomb of Renee's career domestically--made only 21 mil in the United States, Americans just despise this film

Americans just despise this film


and many people in the rest of the world just love it.

In the spirit of your overgeneralisation, most Americans just do not get British humour, or, as a British friend of mine once aptly put it, they are just "not into irony".
Fortunately there is enough purchasing power in the rest of the world to keep this type of film alive.

I'm both British and older. I really like British film-making but found it embarrassingly awful, Like British humour but probably laughed once!

Yer mate the world doesn't revolve around *beep* america.

Its a massive MASSIVE hit in the UK

Oh my God Americans don't like this film?! What will we do?! Oh no!


Who gives a *beep*

reply

What a dumb post. Totally irrelevant. You do know you're getting older, too? 'Cause it seems you don't.

reply

What age are you? Better still what's your mental age?

Come on now,

Darcy had grey hair FFS.

I think that the cinemas would have needed to contact elderly homes and shuttled residents there like they do for voting for this movie to succeed.


Seriously though it is a neat movie that just finishes the series.

They have both aged a bit and that is taken into account in the movie timeline.

At no point do they say this happened right after bridget jones 2 or a short period of time later

What's really funny about the OP's statement is that if he/she is lucky, the age of 70 will be reached. When you're 70, look back at this post and understand why I'm smiling. Peace.

OP? Me?
I'm not an OP, only know what's good and what's rubbish

reply

brank: OP means Original Poster, and yes you were according to what I'm reading.

reply

Thanks for putting me straight on that, I feel a little more educated in the ways of IMDB now.

reply

Oh, Sweetie, you have so much more to be educated on!

reply

OP don't ever watch: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011) or it's sequel.

reply

Absolutely agree phantomF. I on the other hand though it was terrific.

reply

if you're extremely lucky, you might even get to be so, "old".

i wonder if it will take until then for you to realise what a stupid comment you made.
