Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick come together

Make your world premiere in the Tribeca Film Film Film The best you can represents the first major team on her husband’s screen and real wife Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick since 2004 The lumberjackAnd they remain the best reason to see this little one but engaging the dramatic of baby-boomers fighting life by going beyond them. He will also largely appeal to this similar demography. Nothing bad for that.

It is difficult to believe the presence of dance always facing Free from is now 66 and playing a guy with prostrate problems, but, hey, everyone ages and the sweet premise of this film written and directed by Michael J. Weithorn is that it may never be too late to find something new to revitalize your life, even if the ship has already sailed.

Sedgwick embodies Cynthia Rand, Walter’s 25 -year -old wife (Judd Hirsch) who unfortunately experiences the start of dementia, forgetting more than he remembers. This is highlighted as a young man making a book on the attempts of the scandal of the 70s Watergate to interview Walter on the subject, because he was a key person working on the committee. Unfortunately, he does not remember their first conversation, and Cynthia is more and more concerned about him. When it seems that an intruder may have tried to enter their house one night, she confuses him for Stan Olszewski (Bacon), an agitated security guard who tries to enter the house by the window upstairs simply to do his job. Once she realizes that he did not intervene, they have started a conversation which leads him to ask to use the toilets because he finds that he must pee “more frequently” these days. Ideally, she happens to be an urologist and offers to help her discover the problem. The next thing you know, he’s facing down the examination table of his office with his pants down and Cynthia puts a rubber glove to dive deeply. In the films, they call this “cute meeting”.

Time continues, her problems with Walter’s decline continues, and she turns to a new friend Stan for sending conversations about just about everything. In addition to his medical problems, he spends a hell of a time with his 20 -year -old daughter Sammi (Brittany O’Grady), with whom he lives. Cynthia and Stan become fast friends while compatible and find common ground at this stage of life. When Walter stands up and invites him to join them in a restaurant in a few days, Stan accepts. However, at Cynthia’s great dismay, he appeared with a hot meeting who was a young grocery clerk who boldly tried to pick up Stan once when he checked. A Cynthia jealous clearly has other plans for her new friend, and one thing leads to another and, well, they connect as the children could say. Complications occur over life.

It’s really this The best you can That’s all – two baby boomers connecting both in their lives when it seems that everything is down here. The spark between them proves the opposite, or at least they think so. This is something that many people of a certain age can identify, the inevitability of aging in a society which is aimed at a generation that they do not both belong.

What makes him work is his star team. Sedgwick is animated and enthusiastic in her interactions with Bacon, and she strikes all the right notes even when he seems that she has raped the codes of her profession and approached too close to the patient. Bacon is always an observable and superb actor, whatever the role he obtains, and he corresponds to him like a glove. O’Grady is also attractive, a frustrated girl who is also a budding singer. Hirsch does his usual all-Pro work, and Ray Romano even appears briefly on Zooms as a colleague from Doctor of Cynthia.

Weithorn, whose credits are mainly television sitcoms, delivers a human story that would be just as comfortable on television as in theaters today, and a streamer is probably his best bet. But thanks to the easy chemistry of Bacon and Sedgwick on the screen, as well as outside, it’s a pleasure to look, no matter how we find it.

The producers are Weithorn, Bacon, Sedgwick, Victoria Hill, Andrew Mann and Andrew Wonder.
