    This well-intentioned “docu-comedy” (as the filmmakers label it in publicity notes) is not very funny.

    Watching this movie feels like viewing a very long, expensive car commercial and waiting for the real film to begin.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 20 Miriam Bale
    Poor computer-generated effects give the movie an unsettling, two-layered feel.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 30 Miriam Bale
    It is a film with nothing but delight — no major revelations, no gravity and no meaning. This superficiality is a problem only because of the pretense of being about great art.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 30 Miriam Bale
    In general, the film feels like all setup and no punch line.
    • 38 Metascore

    Free Birds is likely to leave audiences fuzzy-headed and vaguely nauseated instead of nourished and satisfied.
    • 29 Metascore

    The miracle of the new 3-D dance film Battle of the Year is how it can be so relentlessly boring while there is so much frenetic activity on screen.
    • 23 Metascore
    • 30 Miriam Bale
    This is a message film with the narrative sophistication of a recruiting pamphlet.
    • 11 Metascore
    • 10 Miriam Bale
    The documentary is not really about these older people but about this couple.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 20 Miriam Bale
    It’s essentially a modern version of “The Big Chill” without the banging oldies soundtrack or competent actors.
