Georgan G Seeing 2 great actors in an this drama/romantic/comedy was a delight. MacLaine is her usual vivacious self, with Plummer the character who changes. This might not hold as much interest for youngsters, but for older viewers it shows how good life can be--right up to the end. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/23 Full Review andrea k Spoiler alert.. There is nothing charming, funny or romantic about having an adventure at the expense of others. The scene of their running out of he restaurant fleecing the restaurant and the wait staff sends the wrong message. I found her character lacking, even fleeing the scene of the fender bender was not endearing or cute. It could have been an enjoyable movie if she was more likeable. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review isla s I liked the characters in this film. I found it funny at times and sad in others. I thought Christopher Plummer and Shirley MacLaine seemed to get on well on screen and I liked the typically outrageous and rebellious nature of her character (Elsa). This is an easy and enjoyable watch. I'd recommend it, yes. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I love Shirley MaClaine and I like Christopher Plummer but this movie didn't do it for me. Very slow moving and at times downright boring. The romance between Elsa and Fred just wasn't believable and honestly felt one-sided. Even the scenes in Rome and the tie-in to the movie La Dolce Vita didn't help much. I liked Scott Bacula as Elsa's son but Marcia Gay Harding was downright annoying as Fred's daughter. This is a good concept for a movie-two people finding love late in life, but it could have been a lot better. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Elsa and Fred is not an awful movie is just a pretty bland one. Movie has a few chuckles but not nearly as funny as it could’ve been. Story wise that you’re predictable romcom fair just with an older couple. The movie goes through all motions and it’s an OK watch. There is nothing offensive or groundbreaking here. An average film all around. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/20 Full Review Audience Member It was a great romantic comedy. Sure some of the plot has been done before but it didn't make it any less lovable.
