If you are curious to know something about the Florida mega-retirement community known as The Villages, you will not learn a lot from this strange little movie.
Rather than provide much in the way of information on the place, the writer-director took the simplistic approach of focusing on a few residents seemingly chosen at random rather than developing anything resembling an overview, which would have taken more skill.
Instead, the viewer is limited to the stories of a wife with an oddball hubby who has drug and legal problems, a nonresident predator-type guy who wants to sponge off the female residents, and a sad widow who wishes she had the money to return to Massachusetts. Narratively, this could be set anywhere.
Since the director does manage to mention that there are 130,000 residents, you would think something more substantial could have been developed.
