Movie #1017 "While We're Young" was the closing film of the Phoenix film festival with the idea that we festival goers would see the film before it was released (like by about 1 day) , and it was just okay. Dave thought there was too much angst, but I enjoyed all the problems this 40+ year old couple had like trying to decide once and for all if they should have kids, & if they should befriend the 20 year old couple that has just come into their lives. Yes, we've seen this subject before in film, but the four people are all played by good actors, so that keeps the film going (except for a drug party that goes awry and loses the humor on the way). I would give this 3.5 , which is kind of in the middle , because I'm not sure who would like this, but I found it entertaining, esp. with the pop culture references that the 40 year olds had no idea about! Mostly because I'm there ---- way there!
While We're Young
I would give this film 3.5 out of 5 stars
