    So stupid I couldn't even find anything redeeming about this waste of time.

    Pretty scenery, great cast, boring as hell.

    It was dreadful to watch such talent go to waste. Morgan Freeman or Tommy Lee Jones are both great actors and always fit the role but this looked like something a lot of C list actors were put in.

    Lame lame lame. Terrible acting by arguably some of the finest. Final action sequence is akin to F1 if all drivers were on qualudes. Boring as.

    Like my mom said while watching it, " Well at least it's not people shooting people." I don't know. Maybe it's ok. So bad it's good? Probably not. Like this review…not sure what to think.

    The critics are wrong about this movie - I've saved it as one of my favorites, a thoroughly fun watch. Did all of the jokes land? No, but enough landed to make this an enjoyable movie to watch. Morgan Freeman, 80 years old still starring in major motion films and Tommy Lee Jones, 71 at the time of this film, still bringing in the sharp dialogue and roguish charm he's known for. It was a fun ride watching these old actors still pony up a good show, a few laughs and an entertaining storyline. I've never been to a retirement community but to see Freeman become the boss of his - I don't know what it is that I love about this but I think it's the fact that this movie feels more realistic. I can actually see some of this happening for actors of this age. Most of all, if you're looking for a movie to pass the time with on a Saturday night, order a pizza and sit back - this is great. Is it oscar worthy? Nah. But the sense of ridiculousness about the entire situation scene-by-scene made Just Getting Started well worth watching. The critics are unnecessarily harsh here. A regular every day person like myself really enjoyed this movie.

    I actually loved this movie! I think it is very entertaining and funny. The poor reviews surprised me. I love movies and this one is in my digital collection.

    Great cast, but the script was poor and didn't seem to do them any justice with this storyline which could have been so much better.

    This movie was hilarious. Morgan Freeman is always a class act, and Tommy Lee Jones is priceless in this. The story is hilarious, the scenes are funny, and it's well worth the watch. I loved it. I'd highly recommend it. And again, the "ratings" from critics here? Ignore them. Watch this movie. You'll get a kick out of it.

    Reminds me of Sienfeld's parents and friends at the old-folks home, lacking the humor and whit, of course. Nothing sadder than a bunch of retirees running around like adolescents high on hormones and alcohol. More pathetic than funny throughout. It's close to a worst movie I've ever seen selection. Certainly in my bottom ten.
