Story : A reboot of the 1979 movie that was directed by Martin Brest and featured George Burns, Art Carney, and Lee Strasberg. Three seniors, who are living social security check to check and even reduced to eating dog food at times, decide they have had enough. So, they plan to rob a bank...problem is, they don't even know how to handle a gun! A social commentary on growing old in America and what we are sometimes driven to, due to circumstances.

You know a film has worked when you have a broad smile on your face; way after the film is over. A remake of the 1979 film by the same name, Zach Braff presents a pleasant cocktail of lifelong friendship; heist comedy and a social commentary on the condition of senior citizens, through his three affable lead characters – Joe (Michael Caine), Willie (Morgan Freeman) and his prickly musician roommate Albert (Alan Arkin) in this breezy dramedy.

What makes an otherwise regular story unique is Braff’s execution. Despite touching upon real issues of the elderly, like financial crisis, illness or their anticipation of death, nowhere does the script get soppy or melancholic. It in fact leaves you grinning from ear to ear with its dark humour.
