Unfunny mishmash buddy comedy (of sorts) that got lost in translation
"Just Getting Started" was directed by Ron Shelton. It's his first film since 2003's and it shows that he isn't quite on his A game. For the actors, this is one of those films where it's obvious that everyone involved is in it for the paycheck. There is no life to this senior comedy, not whatsoever. Whats worse is that movie really goes down the drain in the final thirty minutes, when it suddenly becomes an action movie. Don't waste your time on it, because it is a laugh less comedy, an excitement-free action picture and an unromantic love story.
