Storyline

David's turning 50 and having a Mid-life Crisis! He isn't sure his "perfect husband" loves him, and if he's chosen the right career. Aging is something he never thought about, but now he is faced with making the rest of his life count and hopes his close friends can help. Realizing that he may only have about 35 years left, he must figure out his life to ensure happiness and fulfillment. Fate changes everything when he meets a 15-year younger man who shows him that age does not matter, and that maybe his future happiness is right in front of him. Based on the true story of filmmaker Jeff London and how after being single for 48 years, his life changed when he met the love of his life and found his true purpose.

Trivia

The character of Ace is played by Ace Lundon, a longtime LGBTQ activist since the 60s who wrote a book about coming out in Hollywood called "The Dining Room's Full and The Closets are Empty". Ace Lundon was one of the first gay couples married by Reverend Troy Perry in the 1970s, and also lost his husband in the AIDS crisis. Ace got his start as a performer and producer working on Bob Hope's USO tours, and also was a publicist to the stars, like Jayne Mansfield and Mahahlia Jackson. The character is based on Ace's real life persona, and his friendship with the filmmaker, Jeff London.

User Reviews

Not Sure About This One

The message was....nice. It's never too late for true love. The movie itself, however, was not the best. The pacing was very slow, the acting was mediocre, and the direction was lacking. It was not a total waste of time, but I would not recommend this.
