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.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Must have app if you love the movies
If you’re like me and enjoy a 92oz soda as part of the movie experience, you’ll be thankful for this app telling you the best times to go for a quick break. Whether that’s to refill your soda or recycle it.
Possibly an even better feature is the info on if the movie has after credits scenes. There’s nothing worse than sitting there reading about who the key grip was, then finding out that’s all you did. I blame Marvel for the stupid trend.
Seriously, I see a dozen movies a month and use this app every single time. Worth every Penny of the infinity coin thing I bought.
Developers note: the RunPee app is now, and always will be, 100% free. Donations are optional.

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.
