Four fossilized former wiseguys -- Bobby Bartellemeo (Richard Dreyfuss), Joey Bats Pistella (Burt Reynolds), Mike The Brick Donatelli (Dan Hedaya), and Tony Mouth Donato (Seymour Cassel) -- face eviction from the semi-squalor of the Raj Mahal home on an otherwise posh strip of shore. The crew hatches a seemingly simple scheme to save their retirement residence.

Critics Consensus

Though the four actors are good together, the jokes are stale and not funny.

Geoff Pevere

Toronto Star

At best, the film works like a geriatric version of The Sopranos. At it's worst, it's Cocoon with swearing and shootouts.

The movie is so mild, so benign, its humiliation-to-vindication arc so predictable and its old-folks jokes so feeble that you want them to start shooting the remake immediately.

A forgettable made-for-TV-like production.

The movie always seems to be out of sync with itself.

This is a alright movie, a lot of people gave it a bad review. Kind of cute, kind of funny lacks a bit. A bunch of old "gansters" get together later in life and relive the good old days. I recorded it on a blank type for my bf who loves this movie and watches it a lot. The tape broke and I re bought him it on Amazon on d.v.d. for like under $10.00 so if looking to buy you can get it there cheap, not my fave movie but I'll go in and out watching it.

11/5/2016: Very disappointing considering the wonderful cast. The storyline wasn't too bad, but this comedy wasn't really funny at all.

Harmless fun, even if it's a bit stale and pedestrian. It's the great cast and their chemistry that make it worth viewing once.

***Due to the recent RT changes that have basically ruined my past reviews, I am mostly only giving a rating rather than a full review.***

Funny flick I enjoyed, as opposed to too many downers that they make now that critics go crazy about. Great cast.
