Seidelman has always had a knack for treating even the most unique characters with a humanity and respect.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 4, 2020

It's life affirming, amusing and touching, as relationships struggle and blossom, while friendships form a rock-solid boost to newly imposed loneliness

| Aug 17, 2007

Both sweet and real.

| Mar 1, 2007

hanks to Susan Seidelman for reminding us that romantic comedy is suitable for any population or age group...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 18, 2006

There are few scenes in films that I regret seeing, two of which are unfortunately in Susan Seidelman's maudlin "The Boynton Beach Bereavement Club."

| Nov 6, 2006

Seidelman maintains the narrow path between ridicule and dignity in a movie that dishes out humour even-handedly, but spares the characters total humiliation.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 3, 2006

Despite its best intentions, this seems like a hack job, a routine directing assignment shoved through its paces under the restrictions of a low budget.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2006

Replaces one set of clichs with another, and does what all lame comedies do to young and old alike: It robs them of their humanity and makes them cute.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 3, 2006

Ultimately, the film comes off as a sexed-up cable episode of The Golden Girls, but it still offers amusing scenarios and likeable older characters of a sort too seldom seen on modern movie screens.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 13, 2006

Good intentions and strong thespians aside, Seidelman's writing and filmmaking are bland, obvious and uninvolving.

| Original Score: C- | Oct 6, 2006

The characters are treated with respect, and their zest for life is inspiring (and not just for those who share their age bracket).

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 6, 2006

Its obsession with elderly sex makes it come off like a dirtier, extended-play version of the long-running television series The Golden Girls.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 6, 2006

"Boynton Beach Club" can warm a heart of any age.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 28, 2006

The achievement of Boynton Beach Club is to remind moviegoers that there are huge portions of the population who never appear on-screen and that they have interesting lives, too.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 31, 2006

There's no character in the group who doesn't ooze good-natured charm.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 31, 2006

Unsatisfying comedy-drama, which features a cheesy golden-oldies soundtrack that feels even more packaged than the dialogue.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 25, 2006

The movie is funny without disrespecting its characters. But there is a sadness at its heart, because, although the possibilities for romantic happiness diminish after the age of 65, the dynamics of sexual attraction and coupling never change.

| Original Score: B | Aug 25, 2006

More a series of anecdotes than an insightful dramedy and relies too much on absurd coincidences and needless sitcom-style lying.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 25, 2006

Seidelman's movie doesn't dig deep, and the comedy too quickly veers into routine relationship territory -- albeit with wrinkles.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Aug 25, 2006

Not a very good movie, but it somehow manages to be enjoyable.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 25, 2006
