This was a pretty funny movie. I saw it this weekend and actually laughed out loud. It was weird however, when at the end fo the movie, my husband and I stood up and realized that quite a bit of the theater was seniors. Not my mom and dad age....my grandparents age. It was weird...I had no idea that grandma and grandpa were into that. DO you think they all stumbled into the wrong theater?
Anyone else see this and understand why I am a little perplexed that there were so many seniors in this movie? I mean, there were only about 50 people but at least 35 of them were over 65! Not that they don't understand or anything...it's just, well, the material was very...
Lines like "Ever heard of a f*ck friend?" were rampant in this movie.
They were re-living their youth, Bella. Believe it or not, there was sex in the 20th century. Even 50 and 60 years ago. I should know. I'm 66. And I suspect the movie will be very popular among the AARP set. The whole idea of a 40 year old virgin male is quite understandable to people of that generation, mich more so than the younger generations.

Really? I was suprised and a bit embarrassed. I mean, my grandma was everywhere and here they are saying things like "You're puttin' the p*ssy on a pedestal." and "Dude, it's not a big deal that you like to f*ck guys. I'm cool, I got friends who f*ck guys... in jail. "
Those words weren't invented last year, either. Trust me, your grandma knows what they mean. She may even find their public use hilariously funny. Back in the day it was considered way uncool to speak that way in mixed company, but guys always spoke like that with each other. And I suspect your grandma knew it quite well.

I know they weren't just invented. But I guess I just don't think of older people that way.
You just don't want to talk like that around your grandparents! They are pure or something. :wink:
How old is Hugh Heffner?......and who bought the first hundred or so editions of his magazine?
The twenty somethings who took part in the summer of love back in the sixties, would now be grandparents.
The American soldiers who F*cked their way through most of Europe (including Britain) during WW2, used the "F" word in virtually every sentence. They would now be a minimum of 78 years old.
The Victorians were rather saucy...and explicit pornographic art was found on the walls of the Roman houses excavated in Pompeii.
Believe me Bella, the oldies are rarely shocked.
It's cute to read that you found it surprising that they were there though.
You are a sweetie.
