Light but entertaining fantasy about a small group of elderly citizens who discover that the abandoned house next to their home contains a 'fountain of youth'. One must suspend disbelief for this film. On managing that however, Ron Howard presents us with a quite often funny and occasionally moving motion picture.
Ron Howard manages to tie the unlikely story together very well. Performances from Don Ameche (who won an Academy Award) and Wilford Brimley are quite enjoyable. James Horner's music works well also.
A genuine feel good movie, which unfortunately gets a little tired after a few re-runs.
