Ty Burr Boston Globe 08/18/2011
3/4
A cheerfully rambling documentary that's much more thought-provoking than the sum of its parts. Go to Full Review Adam Bernstein Washington Post 07/29/2011
1.5/4
A moderately ingratiating, none too probing and largely predictable essay on the way people fear and embrace their senior years. Go to Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle 07/07/2011
1/4
Wexler gets tired of his own movie near the end of it. The viewer will get tired in 15 minutes. Go to Full Review Bill Newcott AARP Movies for Grownups 04/01/2023
4/5
A wonderfully funny, thoughtful exploration of what it means to get older, the extremes to which people go to hold off the effects of aging … and the vexing question: How old is old enough? Go to Full Review Chris Faraone Boston Phoenix 08/17/2011
3/4
An expert documentary, a responsible yet lighthearted film about the absurd things that folks do in the face of death. Go to Full Review Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press 07/29/2011
1.5/4

02/02/2016 Documentary about age and the hunt for a long lasting life. Naturally there are no answers here, but the key seem to stay happy and postitive. We meet some very freaky people, some interesting people, some very smart people and some dumber fellas. Impressive ages and a cool documentary, but it's never a big film. 5.5 out of 10 long bearded men canoeing with a stick and a beer. See more 11/09/2012 The best part of the movie is an interview with an Irish 103- year old smoking, beer-drinking marathoner. See more 09/22/2012 Some great tips for how to live a better life and some really inspiring stories. See more 08/28/2012 Amusing and enjoyable. See more 08/10/2012 Fairly well made, mildly engaging. See more 06/19/2012 Funny and quirky and ultimately thought provoking. The best part is being along for the ride into Mark Wexler's mind as he contemplates the surface topics (aging and preventing aging) and reveals the subterranean topics (living, spirituality, relationships.)
