Zach Braff does an excellent job reviving the 1979 movie of the same name, starring Art Carney and George Burns. The replacement actors (Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Alan Arkin) brought their A game, and gave us a fresh look at an old classic.
Critics will say this is a tired plot that’s been done to death, but I say the plot of senior citizens getting back at the ‘establishment’ can never get old, as long as there are senior citizens around to enjoy it.

RunPee Mom is our emotional bedrock. Without her, RunPee never would have lasted a decade as an app (which is since the dawn of time in internet years). She’s our biggest cheerleader and an unending source of unconditional love. She works cheerfully and tirelessly, seeing any movie we ask of her, writing interesting reviews, and being our…well…MOM. Her genres of choice: kiddie flicks, animated movies, emotional dramas, historical features, war films, diverse biographies, and even dense, diabolically plotted thrillers. She knows more about famous and infamous figures in history than said figures probably knew about themselves. She’s the Quiz Manager for the RunPee.com blog, and our resident movie celebrity/trivia expert. If you’ve taken a RunPee Quiz, you’ve most likely been given a virtual hug by RunPee Mom.
