Old Folks Like Us

I will start by addressing the elephant in the room. If you are a "review checker" of films, etc before you try it yourself, you will notice that on March 30th a very ugly review was left by someone who also trolled the short film Guilty that this production team did in 2012. Mrs. Beard explained who the troll was and why "He" left the derogatory comments. So pay no mind to his hateful comments. This TV pilot comedy is actually very good and has rave reviews on their You Tube channel. That's how I saw this comedy. It was so popular with the fans that they actually did a part 2, so there's that.

Do they have famous actors in this? NO! But they do have senior and seasoned stage actors who love to perform and make people smile. Did they have the greatest sound you have ever heard on a film? NO! But Mrs. Beard explained that their entire sound crew bailed on them at the last minute the first weekend of filming away from home; that is very unfortunate and sometimes in life you just cannot control what happens to you and you have to accept it and make the best of it.

Was the laugh track a little off? Yeah, okay. But what does it have? Old Folks Like Us has an original concept, it has funny actors (most of them!) and it is clean enough for the entire family to watch together without embarrassment or shame. In other words, there is (Don't fall over in shock when I tell you!) no nudity, no profanity, no sex and no violence. So for this reason, I must highly recommend it. I am so sick and tired of the garbage that rolls out of Hollywood. And I am frankly so sick and tired of all the re-boots! Give me a break, Hollywood. If you can't come up with new projects, maybe it's time to give independent creators a shot at the brass ring!
