B-MOVIE CRITIQUE

There Must be a Fountain of Youth!

 

PEABODY

Well, finally a movie I could enjoy - I thought! After I had been watching for, oh, say, about 10 minutes, I changed my mind. The premise was fine. The potential was there. The acting stunk.

LEWELLYN

There - were - no - actors! That's the beauty of this film. Real nursing home people thought they were taking a trip to a place they could swim in and regain their youth. They were duped!

PEABODY

When the bus ride leader, played by Butz, demanded the participants' wallets and purses as they approached the "Youth Pool", just outside Orlando, "so they would not get them wet" as they frolicked in the miracle water, I thought the best part of the film had happened. And, I was right. I mean from then on, all there was were a bunch of 80- and 90-year olds splashing water on each other.

LEWELLYN

As the splashing went on, and on, and on, and the merriment turned into frustration then to revenge, as no portion of anyone's body seemed to be in an aging retrograde, I wondered when the first octogenarian punches were going to be thrown toward Butz, whose character was appropriately and lamely named, Gardyor Pokets.

PEABODY

And the "Youth Pool", as the sloppy editing showed, was nothing more than a run-off pond behind a Big Boy. They could've done better!

LEWELLYN

You're telling me! Anyway, making yet another movie about old people trying to become young again was a losing concept from the start. My opinion.

PEABODY

I agree. I think the next movie they make using this or a similar premise, there needs to be a monster of some type involved. Or several witches. Anything to make the whole thing seem more real!

Please be with us next time when we will discuss the new poor-boy-makes-good film, "Poor Boy Makes Good".
