The producers must think this drivel is what their senior target audience wants, but only someone who's lost an appetite for real life could find any entertainment in it.

The climactic 20 minutes of Just Getting Started are so lazily directed that I wondered why Shelton bothered trying to put action into the movie at all.

If this is what the "golden years" are going to be like, count me out.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Dec 14, 2017

Dramatically and comically impotent.

| Original Score: C- | Dec 13, 2017

This wheezy romantic caper ... inspires little more than melancholy reminiscences of Mr. Shelton's earlier work.

| Dec 12, 2017

A rather lazy boondoggle by Shelton, who waited 14 years to direct again and didn't bother to make it worthwhile.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 8, 2017

Just Getting Started simply never does get started. It's D.O.A.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 8, 2017

Ron Shelton's lame comedy is an utterly useless misfire that brings out the worst in all parties involved.

| Dec 8, 2017

The film is ingratiating enough, but its main value is to make us eager for another, more substantial Shelton movie long before another decade has slipped by.

Even a cast with this many award wins and nominations can't salvage a script that will have viewers audibly sighing, rather than laughing.

This mild and dawdling picture is the sort of trifle meant for a retirement-age audience who just want to spend a pleasant and uneventful hour-and-a-half with a few name actors of a certain age. There's very little comedy here and even less action.
