“Do you know where your parents are, and what they are up to” ?!
An unexpected romance engages Sam and Laura, two widowed seniors in their golden years. When they announce plans to live together without marrying so they can keep social security benefits they’d otherwise lose, their children hit the ceiling and don’t hesitate to dish out relationship advice to their respective parents, even though their own marriages are definitely not perfect. Sam’s daughter is married to her ex-analyst, and Laura’s son has a wife who is paranoid about food additives.
All ends well for the elderly twosome, but not before the entire second generation is in nervous fits.
Full of witty banter, this endearing comedy is an amusing clash of intergenerational wits, morality and credulity.
