What are people expected to do after getting
retired? Just laze around in the house doing small chores for their family, who
don’t have time for them or keep counting till their time comes? After leading
an active and busy life do we expect them to sit at home doing nothing?
Ben, a 70-year man, is bored
with his retired life. He tries to keep himself busy with community service
etc. but is unhappy with the way life is turning out. One day he chances upon a
flyer wherein they want senior people for an intern position. He applies for
the post and gets selected as an intern for Jules, who is hard to please and is
the boss of About The Fit.
This movie has a lot to tell
and learn; about relationships of all other things. I loved the onscreen
rapport (can I say chemistry) between Robert De Niro and Anne Hathway. I loved
the scene where Ben tells other moms at Paige’s school that they should be
proud of Jules for all she has achieved, rather than being sarcastic. There are
many beautiful scenes of Ben and Jules, which make a whole lot of sense.
I loved Ben’s character, his
‘it’s never too late’ attitude and his positive attitude towards everything. I
hope many senior citizens take out a leaf or two from his book and learn
something.
I don’t remember how many
times I have watched this movie and will do so how many more times because I
just love Ben and Jules and cute little Paige too.
What about you?
