Just Getting Started Reviews
Another Morgan Freeloader disaster. Attempt at interracial elderly porn. Avoid like the plague.
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.
A light-weight, breezy comedy that’s devoid of laughs and virtually evaporates before your eyes. Writer/director Ron Shelton (Bull Durham, Cobb, Tin Cup) assembled an impressive cast, but gives them nothing to do. It’s not offensive, but leaves you constantly wondering what’s the point.
Just Getting Started is stupid and dim witted. Are our A List actors desperate for money? Last I checked they have starred in much better films than this.
This movie felt like it was mission core elements the whole time. The actors's performances, despite being all very renown actors was not as great as expected, in fact the emotions and jokes where pretty dull as well. It's just another ordinary average performance because of the script writing and movie directing style affected their roles. I would say a lousy writing and script is what leads to these great actors not performing well. The was there but sadly it was a disaster as it was to serious in that aspect and sarcastic and hard to get sometimes. The sounds where great but the complete lack of music in certain scenes did not help the movie overall. It was a rushed plot-less movie which would have done a lot better if it where a 온라인카지노추천 short, because the plot was lacking a lot of content to the base. Overall this is a flawed movie down to the core and it is very disappointing even despite having some elements as entertainment and fun handled well. It is an average movie which could have been a lot better if not for lack of sheer content.
Sad, Morgan Freeman, Tommy Lee Jones, Renee Russo.....then what? Great disappointment, 5% is mighty generous.

Great actors. Sorry film. Seems that only the Brits are great at that type of film. In this film, old women appear cheap and tacky while the men just decrepit. Pity.
It’s amazing to see such a great cast in such a bland movie like this. The cast is great and it’s wonderful to see Tommy Lee Jones and Morgan Freeman finally on screen together. Beyond that though just getting started as a painfully and unfunny comedy. The directing is lazy, the script is laugh free, the story is predictable and some use of green screen so bad actually worse than many films from the 70s. I think I chuckled maybe once or twice during the entire film. This is one movie the leads should definitely keep off the resume.
