Audience Member This isn't a rom-com as it's billed. It's a delicately balanced coming of age story of two people coming to terms with aging. Mary, the wife, is trying to "get things right'" by exercising, age-proofing the house, getting tested for diseases of aging. Adam is doing the guy thing of hating age and fighting against it. There are some holes in the plot and story, but on the whole it's marvelously skillful . Love it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review farah r A terribly long and unbearably boring drama. There's no real depth to the story not the characters and the outcome was rather predictable. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Lovely to watch the fine acting of Isabella Rossellini but movie is very thin on story. Also the premise that being old at 60 is annoying. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review walter m "Late Bloomers" has a good cast, namely William Hurt and Isabella Rossellini as a married couple growing nearer to 60 while facing challenges in life, namely his struggling architecture practice and her wanting to volunteer at pretty much anything.(That's not to mention very fine support from Simon Callow and Joanna Lumley.) But the movie is so scattershot that it lacks much in the way of a consistent story, or really any kind of meaningful insights. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is okay. I don't think William Hurt or Isabella Rossellini are old enough. Isabella's character seems unusually fussy. It tends to make the characters always confused and lost. As if they are both getting Alzheimers. The music is god awful. The story about an architect redesigning a nursing home is not a plot of particular interest. Yawn. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review dave j Monday, September 22, 2014 (2012) Late Bloomers DRAMA/ COMEDY At the opening centers on an older couple of Adam (William Hurt) and Mary (Isabella Rossellini) residing London, England doing their routine thing. And after the two made out, it appears that Mary had suffered a short memory relapse, and had decided to have herself get checked out. It was then suggested by her doctorate friends that perhaps she should join on one of those exercise clubs to stimulate herself. And it was about that time, is when the Isabella Rossellini character begin to become annoying. It's when she start to make 'conditions' both for her husband as well as herself. To the extent of her husband quitting the job he loves of an accomplished architect just so he can 'act' old as they should've been. And as soon as he refuses, they start to separate. And then it becomes this silly thing when their already successful grown up children later finding out about their separation, putting their own careers on hold so that they can get their parents to go back together again. Narrow mindedly, much of the movie refuses to make the point that you're only as old as you feel. I think the movie did point it out at some point but it didn't do anything to enhance the movie on any way. Maybe in London, England some older people, or retirees feel like useless and stuff, but here in North America, it is usually custom to have parents of underage children being looked after by grandparents since 1)parents are usually busy working in their jobs, and 2) having grandparents looking after their grand children saves parents money from babysitting costs, which this film for some reason refuses to address. I guess, it's because the parents got nannies to look after them. 1 star out of 4 Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
