WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
sdt4944 No one writes good comedy as well as the Brits, full of sarcasm.....love it.
Lizt Truth is, I find Boomers very funny. Again, it is not supposed to be dramatic or intense, just something that is for the laugh. You can sit back and enjoy it with your family. Most people judges Boomers from the start but I believe that it has quite many potentials. The show does, indeed, get funnier later on in the series. The show is entertaining, wonderful cast ( mostly Philip Jackson, who I can recognize from Poirot) and is very relate-able. I find the characters sharing personality traits that I can see in my older relatives. I believe that the people who were quick to give this show a 1 star were expecting a more dramatic, silly kind of comedy show. Boomers is your old-fashioned sitcom, funny and relate-able.
pensman If you are in the modern demographic that TV and movies are aiming for (16-35), then move on. But if you have been around the block far too many times, and find that age has reduced your "friendships" to a handful of friends, then you are the target audience for Boomers. It helps if you can laugh at your self to really enjoy these characters because you know them too well. The familiar are here, the bored husbands, the well-intentioned but bossy wife (wives), and the endless semi-joyless days of retirement. Admit it, the golden years aren't golden for everyone. Here those irritants get played for good natured laughs. Comedy based on real issues—an aging is as real as they get—can hit close to home, and I suspect more than one sixty plus boomer has cast a baleful eye at the spouse while watching this series. Good cast and they play off of each other well. I was pleased to see Philip Jackson, the intrepid Inspector Japp from Poirot. Others you might recognize from some of their mouth youthful roles: I recall Stephanie Beacham (The Colbys and Dynasty) and her Playboy photo spread. And the series has a great sound track that changes from episode to episode but someone does a great job matching the song to the prevailing theme.
dioclese Boomers isn't funny? Personally I reckon series two is about the best thing on telly at the moment. Anyone who doesn't appreciate the gentle humour is clearly either too young to understand the absurdities of our generation living in the modern world - or the sort of person that watches X Factor and thinks it's entertaining or that Britain actually has talent...OK series two was a bit slow, but most first series are like that while they iron out the kinks - New Tricks was like that for example and that went on to great things.Boomers is good old fashioned comedy sitcom. It's not deep or intellectual but it's not designed to be. Lay back and enjoy it for what it is. I know loads of people who are just like these characters in real life!
