Age Old Friends (1989) Reviews

Member Rating:

Hume Cronyn and Vincent Gardenia star as two retirement-home residents, longtime friends who possess wildly diverse temperaments. - John Cooper (Cronyn) is crotchety and physically frail, but his brain is sharp as a tack. Michael Aylott (Gardenia) is easygoing and in excellent health, but his mind is slowly deteriorating. The two men form an "us against the world" bond, which crumbles when Michael's memory further fails him and John is advised to move back in with his family. Adapted by Bob Larbey from his Broadway play A Month of Sundays, Age Old Friends was first telecast over the HBO cable service on December 16, 1989. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A simple story with curmudgeonly Hume Cronyn filling the central role admirably. Not quite a "family" movie with all of the double entendres, but if you are familiar with Bob Larbey's other work, you won't be disappointed here. Cronyn and Gardenia provide rich characterizations, even if the supporting players are somewhat lesser. I would have liked more interactions with the other residents, but you can only do so much in the time allotted...
