Look, Freeman and Keaton are lovely together, and if you're in the mood for a gentle, low-stakes drama about aging and apartment hunting, this could work as background viewing while you fold laundry. But let's be real: those review scores (47% critics, 43% audience) aren't lying.
The film is slow, uneven, and ultimately forgettable. It's not bad enough to hate, but not good enough to recommend with any enthusiasm. For teens, this could spark some worthwhile conversations about aging and what makes a home meaningful—if you can get them to sit through it. For younger kids, it's a hard pass.
The WISE components are decent—it's wholesome, safe, and has some enriching themes—but the watchability factor is low. There are better intergenerational films that tackle similar themes with more energy and heart. This one's a 'maybe if you've already watched everything else on Netflix and you're really in the mood for Morgan Freeman.'
