When they moved into the Brooklyn neighborhood 40 years ago, it was sketchy, but now it's hot. We visit their open house (and the snotty NYC stereotypes that show up), enjoy flashbacks to earlier years, worry about their sick dog and go on their search for a new place. The duo has lots of dialogue, mostly revolving around their relationship. The film is sweet and they give agreeable performances, but they never felt really connected to each other. Still, it presents some interesting observations about aging and New York real estate. Expand

5 Flights Up makes its moves as a movie concerned with real people with real problems and love. Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman compliment each other nicely as an older couple in the fast paced real estate market of today.

Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman compliment each other nicely as an older couple in the fast paced real estate market of today. Still, the film's concept is cheapened by unnecessary and too frequent commentary on terrorism in New York City. Expand

A couple growing old and living on the 5th floor, wow, I couldn't do that everyday. During the course of the day we see their early years in flashback, and Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman are top flight actors, but the story line sucks bigA couple growing old and living on the 5th floor, wow, I couldn't do that everyday. During the course of the day we see their early years in flashback, and Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman are top flight actors, but the story line sucks big time. Seems like a stereotype seniors -don't-know-what-they're-doing movie. I'm sure they could have found a better story line to move this character study along. Maybe this was a stage play so it all had to take place in a confined space? Expand
