Senior moment car11/6/2023 ![]() ![]() So, I decided to take a chance on Senior Moment, purchased a ticket to go see it, and went to theaters. In addition, the movie was showing at my local movie theater around the time that I could go, with other films currently playing around that particular time that I’ve already seeing. Shatner, Llyod, and Smart), I felt that the feature had some potential within that “old guys” premise that I mentioned in my opening paragraph. Plus, with the acting talents involved on this project (i.e. I do have to say that the concept idea that I read in the summary portion of the movie looked amusing, yet I didn’t watch the film’s trailer. While I was glancing around on the Fandango app on my phone, I came across this particular movie. To be quite frank, I really didn’t hear much about this movie until the day I actually saw the film in theaters. This brings me around to talking about Senior Moment, a 2021 romantic comedy endeavor that seeks to bring another around of old men antics and crazy scenarios to a cinematic proceeding. Additionally, a lot of these particular movies do feature some seasoned veterans of the silver screen and it’s kind of funny to see what wild and crazy things that they do within their respective characters. ![]() The movies that I mentioned above in my opening paragraph are such prime examples of this and, while some aren’t exactly the quintessential theatrical endeavors that some are looking for, they certainly get the job done and speak to this peculiar romantic comedy angle of what older men and women do underneath a cinematic light. Such projects aren’t exactly a “gold mine”, but still find some type of level of “fluff” and / or comfort to watch finding amusement with the scenarios and gags that these elderly people get caught up in as well as finding some mild-age heart within the feature’s context, which (to me personally) can have some interesting insight feeling of growing old (i.e., looking back on life, relationships, and changing times). Throughout my years of watching movies, I’ve seeing many films out there that have tried to reach out to a wide variety of viewers and finding some of these endeavors that focuses on the wacky antics of senior citizens to be quite both sincere and humorous. While a connection between Caroline into a budding relationship, Victor’s inane intentions threaten to derail a good thing, while his endeavor to reunite with his car proves difficult, aided by license motivator Rock (Don McManus) to conquer his attentiveness problems. Forced to take a driver’s test to get his life back on the road, Victor has trouble focusing on this particular hurdle, newly distracted by local café owner, Caroline Summers (Jean Smart), taking a liking to a man who offers a unique presence in her life. However, that all changes when Victor plays a little too “fast and furious” on the streets with his car, landing the elderly man in hot water with the law, who takes away his driver’s license and impounds his prized vehicle for the next 30 days. Yet, despite all that, Victor’s greatest treasure is found within his expensive car of which covets the most. Set within the blazing heat of Palm Springs, California, Victor Martin (William Shatner) is enjoying life as a retired Air Force pilot, enjoying the leisure life with his lifelong pal, Sal Spinelli (Christopher Llyod) and enjoying the romance flings of younger women. Does this film find humor and heart within its cinematic narrative or is haphazard mess that never gets off the ground? Now, Screen Media Films and director Giorgio Serafini present the latest movie from this variety with the feature titled Senior Moment. Of course, Hollywood has spun this yarn for quite some time producing such films like 1993’s Grumpy Old Men, 2013’s Last Vegas, 2017’s Going in Style, and 2018’s Book Club just to name a few. Naturally, there not all are goofy gags and crude jokes, with most being presented as “rom-coms” (romantic comedies) a mixture of comedy situations that have a slightly deeper means of living life and loved ones. While not exactly a particular subgenre within the comedy film genre, this set premise of depicting elderly has found humor within their wacky scenarios producing a chuckle or two of laughter with these senior citizens character, with most being played by seasoned actor veterans of the silver screen. The wild and crazy antics of old men and women gathering together and getting into a wide variety of mischief has been somewhat of a comedic touch throughout the years.
