Senior Moment (2021)

My Review

“Senior Moment” is a romantic comedy where William Shatner plays a retired Air Force pilot who loses his drivers license when he races around his home town of Palm Springs in his vintage 1955 convertible. Bill must then take public transportation. Director Giorgio Serafini put together a formulaic romantic comedy-drama from a so-so script by Kurt Brungardt and Christopher Momenee. It was a flop at the box office for Goff Productions, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, and Screen Media Films.

The appeal of the film rests on the familiar personalities of the principal cast members like William Shatner, Jean Smart, and Christopher Lloyd. And don’t forget co-stars Esai Morales, Kaye Ballard, Ruta Lee, Don McManus, Beth Littleford, Katrina Bowden, and Kal Smith as Timmy. Though not Shakespeare, “Senior Moment” is a watchable film which qualifies as fair escapist entertainment. It was filmed in Palm Springs, California.
