Suzie T I honestly do not understand all the negative reviews on this movie.. Folks has been a movie icon in my family for many years, it's truly a family favorite (and this is coming from someone who's family is prone to dementia!) .. it's relatable, which is what makes so many comedians so funny! .. I was shocked to discover that so many found the movie offensive.. this is a testament that we are truly living in an age of "easily offended" .. if you're reading this and you haven't watched this movie yet?, Don't let any of the negative reviews dissuade you .. watch it for yourself and you'll find that the movie is NOT "making fun of old people with dementia" .. quite the contrary.. it depicts the real life struggles that so many of us cope with day-to-day.. ups AND downs .. I also find it interesting that if you click on "read full review" on any of the negative reviews showing on this page, the only one that doesn't say "page can't be found" is the one written in Spanish Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Rob S This is a dark comedy that my whole family enjoyed when I was a kid and it first came out. It wouldn't sit well currently as the PC culture is pretty strong. Tom Selleck's company is involved in illegal activities, he isn't involved, but no one believes him and the luck just goes down from there. Dark part comes when they decide to claim life insurance money from his father but he's still alive, and mostly senile. Selleck seems to be cursed for going along with such a terrible idea by getting beat/damaged/injured physically, but it never works and no one dies. The movie is both terrible and endearing and it has a happy ending with a nice twist on a misunderstanding of the grandfather's dementia. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/23 Full Review Suzann F I loved this movie, I needed to laugh and this was perfect, I watched it 5 times. It's so funny, poor Tom...lol...its an older movie, but keep that in mind and you will enjoy yourself. It might have helped that I dealt with dementia in my Mom, so this was familiar and gave me permission to laugh Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I love how Adam Sandler uses christian mingle to collect the hateful 8 and defeat Thanos with the help of Captain neckbeard Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member So Funny...couldn't remember the name of this movie for the life of me then boom I figured it out.

It still holds up as one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Tom Selleck is a master of physical comedy. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
