Absolutely the worst “movie” I have seen. Not a representation of the villages...about 3 people...one a depressed single woman, a man with dementia and his wife, and a homeless man in a van trying to find a rich good looking woman to sponge off of. Not the villages I live in...it started with the fact that people come here and feel younger, mainly because they get involved in healthy activities and don’t sit around doing nothing and people socialize instead of feeling so isolated. Isolation is also a state of mind...you can chose to be unhappy or you can do something about it...lose weight and get healthy, meet people, join groups, even go for a walk in decent weather! So ****ed that this movie even had the cup villages name on it!

That would be an interesting thread to start. "Why I hate Florida". Would it be possible to have a retirement community like The Villages in a high tax state with massive bureaucracy and regulations like CA, IL or New York? |

I haven't seen the movie. Having read fifiebon’s critique above, I probably wont. All of us have to go thru bad times through out our lives. Sometimes where we are or who we are with can help or even help a lot. But really we just have to slog through it no matter where we are. Since it is a personal journey it usually is boring to others.

Ithos,
I don’t live in FL so there are probably many things about it I am unaware of. What are the reasons you dislike it? |

I hope it is not too far off topic but I am interested in why someone would decide to retire in a state that they despise. Last edited by ithos; 01-17-2021 at 10:24 AM. |

Watched Some Kind of Heaven Last Night
3 peoples story about troubles they are going through in life who just happen to live in The Villages. Stories could have taken place anywhere (even outside of a retirement community). Movie had almost nothing to do with The Villages.

Great review! When it becomes free, I will watch it. It is interesting..... that hatred of Florida as a state. It must be more than the summer heat? I would prefer that The Villages was located in Oregon of Arizona myself. But, I have gotten too committed to TV Land to relocate.

Community Watch is NOT a very effective group - they miss a lot of crime and etc.

I had heard about the guy who lives in a van, is not a Villager, but a bum who hangs out at the pools, probably where he showers and does his personal hygiene business. Yuk! This was prior to the China Coronavirus pandemic hitting us.

I disagree. I came thru the gates at least 5 or 6 times between 1 - 5 AM last year and every time a community watch truck rolled past my house a few minutes after I got in my driveway. Somebody is watching those gate cameras.
