Boynton Beach Club description Early in the charming romantic comedy Boynton Beach Club, one randy 70-something guy makes a heartfelt toast to "sex after 60"--in all of its untidy, slightly saggy, unpredictable glory. And so is this film, by Susan Seidelman, as much a toast to love among the retiree set as her Desperately Seeking Susan was a valentine to Madonna and the early '80s hipster scene. The all-star cast, including Joe Bologna, Dyan Cannon, Sally Kellerman, Brenda Vaccaro, and Michael Nouri, explore the nuances of grief, loss, heartbreak, and horniness in a retirement community in Boynton Beach, Fla. The usual jokes about senior communities--the outnumbering of men by women, the orchestrated community-center social lives, the bad driving--are here, but with a twist. Seidelman is just as interested in showing that some things, like schoolgirl crushes, one-night-stand cads, and finding love when you think you're not even looking, are as universal whether you're 17 or 70. While some of the cast seem almost distracting at the beginning of the film, because of apparently drastic plastic surgery (Cannon and Kellerman, especially), by the film's end they blend in with the rest of the cast, just as facelifts coexist with sagging jawlines in real Florida towns. Boynton Beach Club has a big heart, and the heart, thankfully, never shows its age. --A.T. Hurley |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Great acting, good script! |
| An easy to watch wonderful movie about mature people going back out to find a partner after a loss. Len Cariou brings masterful dignity to his role as a new widower whom we watch grow steadier as the film progresses. Joe Bologna is brilliant, with his comic timing, his warmth and heart clearly visible in the delightful Harry. Brenda Vaccaro gives an Academy Award quality performance of a justifiably angry woman who pushes herself to reclaim life after losing her husband. It's a treat to see Dyan Cannon with all her coiled energy light up the screen with superb acting, Sally Kellerman still has Hot Lips that are sweetened by her dignified performance as a shy and fiery divorcee, and cameos by Mal Z. Lawrence and Renee Taylor are split second down to the last dot perfect.
That this film has not seen greater success is a mystery. It's timely, smart, witty, at times hilarious, it touches hearts, it has a great cast of seasoned likeable credible actors whose synergy one feels through the screen. |
