Grade: A-
The target age group for this movie is the 40+. The younger set would find Stand Up Guys slow and tedious. I’m in the 60+ age group and I loved it. When you have Walken, Pacino and Arkin together it’s going to be a hit in my book. These guys can take any script, put their spin on it, and make you laugh, cry or sit on the edge of your seat.
There was a little action befitting three guys age 65+ without looking cheesy or overdone. However, the movie focused on the characters and their relationships which provided plenty of laughs and a few tender moments.

Alan Arkin didn’t have a lot of screen time but he added just the right ingredient to make the movie sparkle.
The ending was pulled right out of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and made me leave the theater with a big smile on my face.

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.
