Goes through the motions with familiar jokes about getting older, when something more moving could have been done. A waste of a great cast.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 17, 2022

The cosy sentimentalism of Mark Lamprell’s film is endearing, but the jokes are hopelessly clumsy, as are the misplaced efforts to say something serious about the war.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 6, 2022

It does carry some sweet moments and fans of a dad (or grandad) joke are in for the odd titter. But it’s never too late to watch something else.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 4, 2022

[N]o matter how great the intentions were in making this film, its torturously unfunny script, meandering plotline and all-round hideous presentation are irredeemable qualities.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 31, 2022

Attempts to ruminate on the vagaries of ageing, the struggles of living with regret and the fact that it can take a lifetime to chase one's dream, but the film's cast sport wrinkles deeper than the movie's themes.

The support cast all do what they are paid for, and mostly pretty well. But Cromwell and Weaver together drag Never Too Late over the finish line by the scruff of its neck.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 19, 2021

Never Too Late's predictability -- let's face it, we all know where this is going -- is blunted by the actors and the warmth of the characters who get one more shot at adventure and happiness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 29, 2021

A sweet, congenial, low-flying oldies-behaving-badly comedy that works well on a mild vibe... A bit more drive in the plot might have heightened the adventure, broadened the comedy and expanded the film's appeal to people under 50.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 12, 2020

With this line-up, Lamprell should have turned the film into a celebration of some great screen careers. Instead, it winds up as a sad waste of talent.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 21, 2020

It's difficult - probably impossible - not to be charmed by the principal characters and their actors, all of whom can oscillate to pathos quickly.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 21, 2020

Its sentimental, untidy, and predictable and heart-warming and at times, really funny.

| Aug 14, 2020

[The] plot for this insipid movie ... obliterates common sense in order to make almost every character look as moronic as possible ... and nursing homes look like prisons.

| Jul 30, 2020

Standard and sentimental. You can see where it's going, but it's fun and benign anyway to see how they work this out.

| Jul 22, 2020

"Never Too Late" is a middling comic import from down under aimed squarely at a geriatric audience

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2020

An over the hill gang tries to reunite a couple who have been apart for 50 years. James Cromwell and Jacki Weaver head a strong cast in this funny and feisty film.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 16, 2020

Aging pals reunite for a mission in crowd-pleasing dramedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2020

There's more here than just restless elders nursing broken hearts and festering disappointments. There's feistiness, lots of it, probably more than you can stand.

| Original Score: B | Jul 12, 2020

Spirited performances drive the good-natured mischief for a while, although the film struggles to balance the broad humor with any nostalgic value or meaningful sentiment.

| Jul 10, 2020

While "Never Too Late" goes for a few too many old-folk chuckles, it also aims to probe the serious.

| Jul 10, 2020

Never Too Late undermines reality so often that the attempts at conveying authentic pain, longing, and sorrow start to feel schmaltzy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 10, 2020
