Default Some kind of heaven

You know-the movie about life in the villages? It was depressing and not accurate simply because 130k people wouldn't move there to be miserable. The 24 year old director must have something against old people. The guy living out of his van got lucky but he never took care of business in his lifetime like the others did.

I'd welcome any comments as I've been looking to at least vacation there for a winter month.

I never saw it. I wouldn’t base anything on a movie. I love it here for different reasons others might like it. There’s something for everyone.

Actually, I was going to watch it but watched the preview first and said "forgetaboutit." I have found that the previews to movies usually show the best parts, and this one must not have a good part, let alone a best part. Not interested.
As far as I am concerned, there are way too many folks that WANT to move here, that a few that don't know what they want really don't matter to me. Right now, houses are being sold the same day as listed, so the way I figure it, if you snooze you lose.

Took you almost 12 years to post something. Somebody's stirring things up.

Very easy answer: This "movie" is an idiotic film by a low grade moron and has nothing to do with life in The Villages for the 129,997 people who were not depicted (actually 129,998 since one of the "persons" was not even a resident). Your time would be better spent watching reruns of Lassie.

I was hoping that "filmmaker" was in the well so we could leave him there

The Van in the movie is back. I didn't see the man who owns the Van but it's the Van for certain.

In the back parking lot of Orange Blossom.

He was a nice guy to tell you the truth. He just had no business being at the pool. He wasn't doing NOTHING else wrong so I didn't call on him. We don't do that, in my earlier life we didn't anyway. I glad I didn't rat him out.

This has been discussed months ago.

Some Developer Lusters think its about the Villages.

Its about people adjusting to retirement and loss.
