Old Goats 2011

     This film is a comedy with Bob, Britt and Dave playing the elderly men they actually are but in a fictitious story.  There is also some reality blended into the story.  Bob is the oldest and he writes a memoir about his life in his younger days.  He was a soldier, para-trooper, bush pilot and he also had a lot of romances.  Britt lives alone on a boat in the harbor and he’s been planning a long distance voyage.  He’s done a lot of gathering of necessary supplies for the journey, especially food.  David says he retired but he was actually let go and he’s trying to adjust to not going to work every day.  He is the only one of the three that is married and his wife is rather particular and bossy.

     This is a funny movie based on the real golden years.  You cannot help but laugh and compare the men to people you know, bumped into or are related to.   Bob is pretty surprising as the oldest of the men.  He’s always got something to do or a story to tell.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)

Special Note:  I didn't know until after I watched this that the story was fiction.  I wondered why they were telling so much information about themselves.
