It seems something always brings me back to Jan Schutte's 2007 film. Based upon three works by Isaac Bashevis Singer, the filmmaker does a great job of mixing the three into one. People unaware of Singer's work beyond Streisand's almost experimental re-working of his slight story, "Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy," will be surprised to discover what Schutte is able to create from these other works. When this film was initially released more than a few critics/viewers pointed out the annoyance that this adaptation is misleading of the great writer's work. I disagreed then and I disagree now. If anything, this movie might spark a viewer to seek out Singer's printed words. There is a great deal more going on than what greets the eyes. This film is about a great deal more than a naughty Miami senior citizen. Ideas around love, commitment, sex, loneliness and death are all examined. The late Otto Tausig gives an exemplary performance. It was one of the best given by an actor in 2007. The supporting cast provide excellent support for Tausig's work. Both Elizabeth Pena and Tovah Feldshuh bring forward their usual amazing work. But the supporting player who really surprises is Rhea Perlman. She gives what at first appears to be the obvious read of her character but is actually digging far deeper than expected. "Love Comes Lately" is not a soft-sell movie. It is unto itself and really does not care what we think. It carries itself like a surly curmudgeon determined to get up flights of stairs without a walker. It may get a bit confused, sweat and even lose dignity -- but it pushes forward. This little movie leaves a mark. I think it is just about one flight away from being brilliant. Not to be missed.

Just the idea of an old writer and his lovers is very attractive. However, despite some moments of mordacity and comicity, this movie stays in the interesting idea and no offer what it can be promised: deepness and grace.

Completa perda de tempo, um filme com um personagem egocentrista mala e um roteiro sem coerência que tenta unir três contos sem sucesso.

Filmes com velhinhos fofos dificilmente recebem críticas ruins. Esse era para ser singelamente poà (C)tico e divertido. Mas à (C) chaaaaaaaaa(...)aaato.

I'm in it. More power to an 80 years guy who can still pick up the ladies.

Interesting look at the life of an elderly writer trying to get the Muse back for a visit or two while attempting to write new material. I really liked this actually. Pretty good acting.

While I found the blurring of reality and imagination thought provoking, and while I admire some of the more mundane humor, I simply could not get behind Max - a charactor who glides through the film as things happen all around him; more of a force that moves the plot along than an actual engaged charactor (fictional or otherwise). The women who drift in and out of Max's vision all do a very nice job supporting the film, especially Barbara Hershey, although I found Pena's performance just too polarized and predictable (hampered by the script, no doubt). What this film tells about ageing is poignant and at the crux, but there's just too much sleight of hand to really make you feel for Max.

I did NOT expect this movie to be that good.Wow

a funny movie on the fantasies, manias and insecurities of an aged author. This movie is more humorous and less dark than Elegy, and borders on realismo magico, which works quite well.

a totally boring flick that i checked out of right away. no substance, no interest, and really nothing likable about it at all. only watch this if you want to bore yourself for an hour and a half.

my parents live in pass-a-grille florida and were selected to be a part of this wonderful film. My father was Carl who had the heart attack and joked about the infamous Simon. What a great time we had watching this on his 76th b-day today. Thank you. Lynelle Sparacino

I actually didn't hate this flick, it was well acted with a decent plot, although a little slow.

This was the most boring movie I have seen in ages. The one reason I stayed to watch it was I was 1/2 in the bag!!

so weird it is actually good!

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Loose ends don't tie up, a lot of things just don't make sense, and it ends abruptly. The acting is sometimes laughable (especially Rhea Perlman's in one scene and all of Elizabeth Pena's), although Otto Tausig is always pretty good. Still, it's hard for me to believe that, both in his stories and in his real life, fairly younger women are attracted to this bumbling, little old man. It all just doesn't make sense!

A surreal drama about a beatiful benefit of growing older: you can find more women beatiful - from Olivia Thirlby to Barbara Hershey. As challenging as it is, its also likable thanks to its lead Otto Tausig.

una muy buena historia moderna sobre como la ficcion y la realidad siempre van de la mano en nuestras vidas
