You might be excused for speculating that it is really a high school romantic comedy whose teenage characters are played by their grandparents.

Reviews for The Boynton Beach Club
Upbeat and occasionally self-consciously kooky, Boynton Beach Club doesn't exactly plumb the depths of the aging experience, but it has its moments of surprise and offers a look at life past the point where movies are generally interested.
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.'
Briskly paced humor and/or pathos flow organically from situation and characters, with age providing less an occasion for one-liners than a now-or-never excuse to wallow in unfettered personality expression.
