New York Post Lou Lumenick
A lively and poignant comedy with lots of laughs and juicy roles for a roster of seasoned performers who should be seen more often.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Ruthe Stein
The way Boynton Beach residents reach out to one another is enough to make you consider relocating to one of these communities.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach
This delightful, if perhaps too calculatedly winsome, comedy presents seniors who are coping with emotional and physical losses and challenges them to act like the young people they still are at heart.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
Cannon actually is funny -- not to mention funny-looking. Plastic surgery has left her physically absurd, like a vaguely glamorous R. Crumb cartoon.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Bill White
The movie is funny without disrespecting its characters. But there is a sadness at its heart, because, although the possibilities for romantic happiness diminish after the age of 65, the dynamics of sexual attraction and coupling never change.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Stephen Hunter
There are plenty of reasons to like the movie, such as its genuinely gentle wit, its occasional capture of the absurdities of aging and its endorsement of the permanence of lust, but one factor in particular is its brilliant cast of discarded '70s-era Hollywood stars.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
This funny, nervy, and pointedly unrated geriatric sex comedy is both enhanced and occasionally limited by being targeted at baby boomers.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
Smoothly balancing comedy and pathos, it infuses the fantasy with enough credibility to make you care about these people and wish them merrily on their way.
Read Full Review >Variety Ronnie Scheib
Briskly paced humor and/or pathos flow organically from situation and characters.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Carina Chocano
As a niche entertainment catering to an overlooked audience, Boynton Beach Club is remarkable mostly for its optimism and solid performances.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen
A thoughtful and nicely observed dramedy about a group of AARP-sters grappling with life, loss, love and -- gasp -- sex in a South Florida "active adult community."
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten
Thanks to Susan Seidelman for reminding us that romantic comedy is suitable for any population or age group.
Read Full Review >ReelViews James Berardinelli
Too often, Boynton Beach Club feels like a made-for-TV movie with a little sex, nudity, and profanity thrown in to spice things up.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
It's refreshing to see a film that so directly addresses the issues and concerns of a vast, overlooked demographic, but it'd be much more satisfying if Boynton did more than just affably skate along the surface.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
Here Seidelman's more interested in warm and fuzzy than in carbonation. That's fine, as far as this modest picture goes. But the actors deserve more, and better.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
While Seidelman deserves considerable credit for making the rare romantic comedy about seniors, it's a shame the movie itself is as bland as a low-sodium diet.
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian M. E. Russell
Good intentions and strong thespians aside, Seidelman's writing and filmmaking are bland, obvious and uninvolving.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Ella Taylor
A threadbare plot peeks through the shameless run of shopworn jokes about Viagra, stashed-away dildos, eager old dames delivering unsolicited casseroles to freshly widowed men.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer
Its wasted cast includes Dyan Cannon, Sally Kellerman, Len Cariou, and Brenda Vaccaro, who miraculously manages to give a fine performance in this malarkey.

Bob B. gave it a10:
It started out funny and the laughs never stopped. My 15 year old son loved the movie! I can't wait to get older as I am only 50 years young.
Neal F. gave it a10:
I saw this film at the Palm Springs Film Festival and was really surprised at how much I laughed and enjoyed this movie. It is a charming movie with a talented cast. I'm not a senior (yet) but I think this movie is a feel good movie for any age. I can't wait for my mother to see it. She'll die....laughing.
