Harry and Tonto is an intelligent road movie, humorous, sex-positive, and unlike most movies about old age, it isn't garishly maudlin. Unfortunately, it doesn't manage to entirely avoid the pitfalls of sentimentality, contrived "contemplative" moments, and overly convenient plot turns such as Harry randomly meeting a cat salesman shortly after pretending to be one. (Epic continuity fail: Blue suitcase taken out of a bus, turns into brown suitcase with an umbrella attached in the next shot!)
