Reggie's Day in Court
Reggie's Day in Court The most disturbing scene to me was Reggie's appearance for his pre trial intervention hearing. The municipal court judge was a bully and a jerk for admonishing him to show up without a lawyer. That judge must lead a sheltered life if he considered Reggie's behavior the rudest he had ever seen.
The movie needed a follow up and left unanswered questions - Was 81 year old Dennis's mother still alive ? What other oddball club, like the Elaine club were out there?
It seems a vast majority of the residents led perfectly happy, carefree lives and still flock to move there, some contented residents should have been featured. - andrew-w-bunn - 21 February 2022
Why The Villages
This could have been filmed anywhere, it has very little to do with The Villages. I've spent a lot of time there, and like anywhere there are sad people, happy people, crazy people, and boring people. This focuses on sad, boring, and crazy people's lives, intentionally depressing without a lot of upside.
