“Desperately Seeking Metamucil”? Susan Seidelman’s (53) light romantic comedy of vulnerability set in a Florida retirement home is sweetly elevated cliché, a brightly colored pleasure with spark from Len Cariou (66), Dyan Cannon (69), Brenda Vaccaro (66), Joseph Bologna (71) and a detestable character essayed by Renee Taylor (73), Sally Kellerman (69) and Michael Nouri (a toothsome 60). What’s the old joke? “You’re only as young as the one you feel?” Seidelman based the script on her mother’s experiences in an “active adult” community; the plastic surgery on several of the performers is a distraction. 105m.
