The creativity doesn't match up to the ideals here, even if Abe Phil does offer one of the better final scenes (a grace note, really) seen in recent indies.

This low-key and deeply felt indie is unsentimentally blunt while addressing the humiliating debilitations that often define geriatric life. At the same time, however, it scrupulously eschews excessive grimness and shameless heart-tugging, and elicits more than a few laughs in the bargain, while focusing more often on how the title characters deal with last chances and unfinished business.

Tripping over soapy subplots and maudlin conventions, it loses its footing just as Abe regains his mojo.
