Time:  1 hour 38 Minutes

Jan's Opinion:  Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie yesterday and we agreed it was a sweet  story with a few laughs, but if you are expecting it to be like Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, you will be disappointed.  Dustin Hoffman directs this movie which stars Maggie Smith, who just shines in her role as a retired opera singer.  She used to get at least 9, if not 12, encores, but now that she has aged, her voice has trouble hitting the high notes, so finally she is broke and moves into a retirement home for musicians, where she knows her ex-husband is living.  He is not so happy to see her, but it is fun to watch her worm her way back into his life.  I rather imagine people age 50 and over will enjoy this one more than the under-50 generation.  Then again, I might be wrong....
