Elsa & Fred

Elsa & Fred is overly sentimental, not particularly deep, and has nothing going for it outside of its central romance. With a younger couple, it would be dismissed and never thought about. But because it's an elderly couple, it's sweet and works. Don't think too hard about it, enjoy it for its sweetness and comedy, and you're likely going to have a good time. Christopher Plummer and Shirley MacLaine are good fun to watch. The film fails completely when not focusing on them.

nice little geriatric rom-com..heartwarming
