    • Goofs
      All during the movie, Torres' Impala's front license plate is PENMBR1. The rear plate is 7KGW032. For someone who is worried enough not to trespass onto the impound lot property, he is playing it pretty fast and loose with the law.

    where we're going, we don't need a porsche

    Greetings again from the darkness. Making concessions to age is something all of us deal with ... even former test pilots - although some of them might be a bit less inclined to adapt. Such is the case with Victor Martin. He's in his 70's and still enjoys ogling beautiful younger women and zipping around Palm Springs in his vintage Porsche convertible. Some might call it cliché or even pathetic, but Victor and his lifelong pal Sal Spinelli are enjoying life.

    Director Giorgio Serafini is working from a script by co-writers Kurt Brungardt and Christopher Momenee, and the first thing viewers must overcome is the casting. See, Victor is played by William Shatner and Sal by Christopher Lloyd. Yep, Captain Kirk from STAR TREK and Doc Brown from BACK TO THE FUTURE are the senior citizen buddies living it up. Both actors seem to be having a good time, and seeing the two men on screen together is quite pleasing.

    All good things come to an end, and when the city's new DA cracks down on dangerous elderly drivers, Victor has his license revoked and his treasured car impounded. He's frustrated, but by happenstance meets Caroline Summers (a terrific Jean Smart). The two are polar opposites, yet there's a clear connection. She's a former National Geographic photographer who now owns and runs the local Cuckoo Café - so named despite the titular time piece not being in working order. Caroline is a free-spirited former hippie, and her organic diet contrasts with Victor's processed honey buns.

    Victor admits he's "still trying to figure out what I'm going to do when I grow up", but he soon realizes his attraction to Caroline has impacted him more than he expected. It's an awkward romance made more challenging by the presence of artist Diego Lozana (Esai Morales) and Caroline's mystical belief in the story attached to the cuckoo clock. The film is loaded with lunacy and is not one that benefits from viewers who prefer thoughtful messages. This is designed to be mostly light-hearted fun with an element of late-in-life romance tossed in for good measure.

    As a gift to its target audience, Ruta Lee (SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS, 1954) makes a brief appearance, and of particular note is the final screen appearance by Kaye Ballard (she died at age 93). Also appearing in the supporting cast are Don McManus, Joe Estevez, and Jack Wallace. Maja Stojan plays Sonja, Caroline's daughter, Carlos Miranda plays Pablo Torres, and director Serafini's wife, LaDon Drummond makes an appearance as one of Victor's former flings.

    The film has faced numerous delays since it wrapped, and lead William Shatner just recently turned 90 years of age. It's rare when a movie involves a broken cuckoo clock and a tortoise photo, but it's even less common for the focus to be on humor and a romance between senior citizens. This is one that plays to its intended audience, and doesn't much care about the rest.

    In theaters and On Demand on March 26, 2021.
