From IMDb: “Grumpy pensioner Arthur honors his recently deceased wife’s passion for performing by joining the unconventional local choir to which she used to belong, a process that helps him build bridges with his estranged son, James.”

Poster: C-

Review: To counterpoint a sour old man, we go with flouncy floral images? That’s not going to work. I can’t imagine anyone looking at this and thinking it will be a movie they want to see, not even with the actors pictured. It looks nothing like The Best Marigold Hotel, which at least had a reason to use a floral motif.

Trailer: D+

Review: A curmudgeon finds an emotional outlet, news at 11. There is just nothing original about this story and the hokey premise is made embarrassingly clear as the trailer progresses, which MIGHT appeal to the aging generation, but I think that even they would find this hokum unworthy of their time.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
