MAKING ITS World Premiere in the Spotlight Narrative of the TRIBCA Festival, The best you can Represents the First Major ounce Teaming of Real-Life Husband and Wife Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick Since 2004’s The Woodsmanand they remain the best reason to see this small but engaging character drama about Boomers Fighting Life Passing by. It will Also far -so appeal to that Similar demographic. Nothing Wrong with that.

It is hard to believe the Ever-Young Dancing Presence of Footloose is now 66 and playing a guy with prostate problems but, hey, Everyone Gets Older and the Sweet Premise of this Film Written and Directed by Michael J. Weithorn is that is never too. sailed.

Sedgwick Plays Cynthia Rand, the 25-Yyars-Yanger Wife of Walter (Judd Hirsch) Who Sadly is Experiencing the Onset of Dementia, Forgetting More than Remembers. This is evidentized as a young man doing a book on the ’70s Watergate Scandal Attempts to Interview Walter on the Subject, Since he was a Key Working on the Committee. Unfortunately, he has little recall in their first conversation, and cynthia is increasingly concertned about Him. When it appears an intruder may have ben trying to break into the home home one Night, She Mistakes Him for Stan Olszewski (Bacon), A flailing securning officer who is attempting to enter the home through an upstairs to do. Once she realizes he isn’t breaking in, they stroke up a conversation that leads to him nansing to use the bathroom as he finds he has to pee a lot “More frequently” these days. Conveniently, and happens to be a urologist and offers to help Him discover the problem. Next Thing You Know, He is Face Down on the Exam Table in Her Office With His Pants Down and Cynthia Putting on a rubber glove to take a deep dive. In the Movies, they call this “Meeting cute.”

Time goes on, her problems with walter’s decline continues, and she tourns to New Friend for Texting Conversations on JUST ABOUTE. In adding to his medical problems, he is hating a hell of a time dealing with his 20-something daughter sammi (Brittany o’grady), with WHOM he lives. Cynthia and Stan Become Fast Friends As they commiserate and find common ground at this point in life. When Walter Perks up and invites Him to join at a restaurant in a few days, stan Accepts. Howver, Much to Cynthia’s Dismay, he shows up with a hot date who was a Young Grocery Clerk that boldly tried to pick up once and checking out. Do Jealous Cynthia Clearly has other plans for her new friend, and one thing Leads to another and, well, they hook up as the kids might. Complications Arise As Life Goes On.

That is really what The best you can is all about – two boomers connecting at a time in their lives we appears it is all downhill from here. The spark between say proves otherwise, or so they think. This is something many People of a Certain Age May Identify with, the inevitability of growing Old in a Society that caters to a generation to which they don’t belong.

What Makes It Work is Its Star Teaming. Sedgwick is Spirited and Enthusiastic in Her Interactions with Bacon, and She Hits All the Right Notes It Appears She Has Violated the Codes of Her Profession and Gotten Close to the Patient. Bacon is always a watchble and superb actor, no matter what roles he gets, and this one fits Him like a glove. O’grady is appealing too, a frustrated daughter who is also an aspiring singer. Hirsch DOES HIS USUAL ALL-PRO JOB, AND RAY ROMEY SHOPS SHOWS BRIEFLY ON ZOOMS AS A DOCTOR COLLEAGUE OF CYNTHIA’S.

Weithorn, whose credits are mainly tv sitcoms, delivers a human being story that was just as comfortable on television as in thetsea days, and a streamer is probably best bet. But thanks to Bacon and Sedgwick’s Easy Chemistry on Screen, As well as off, it is a pleasure to watch no matter how we find it.

Producers Are Weitorn, Bacon, Sedgwick, Victoria Hill, Andrew Mann, Andrew Wonder.
