Just to be clear, Government(Legislature, Judicial, Executive) Law enforcement, Religion, neighbors(Singularly or In mass) have no business in someone's bedroom. No matter how many people are there, as long as they are there by their own fee will.

'It hasn't been the fantasy land I thought it would be': Documentary goes inside 'creepy' Florida utopia for senior citizens that it claims has sinister underbelly of racism, orgies, drunken debauchery and make-believe history
New documentary, 'Some Kind of Heaven' explores the dark underside of America's largest retirement community known as 'The Villages' in central Florida with a notorious swingers scene
The community was designed to be a manicured fantasy land for seniors aged 55+ ; grandchildren and visitors under the age minimum are strictly prohibited to visit for more than 30 calendar days
It's dubbed 'the Disneyland for retirees' because the neighborhoods are designed like a theme park to imitate old town squares, complete with make-believe histories; residents say its like living in a 'bubble'
The developers own a TV channel, multiple radio stations and newspaper that only prints positive news
Critics say The Villages are like a creepy Stepford cult for Baby Boomers with Orwellian-like rules that are dictated by an elusive family worth billions of dollars
The Villages were 'designed to hide all of the problems of everyday life' says first time documentarian, Lance Oppenheim - his film follows the lives of four seniors that live on the fringe of the fantasy


I don't know where this place is, but it certainly is not The Villages I live in

The person writing this ”documentary” must be a competitor of TV. My uncle has lived here from 1990’s and my parents from the late 1990’s on. While there may be a very small segment of TV population that participates in these type of events it has never came to my uncle’s family or my parents’ attention in 30 years.

Total rubbish! In my opinion.

That newspaper is just a tabloid - same as most so-called news shows, all nonsense.

The movie does not show the villages in any particular light in my opinion. Watched it for free and that is the only way to do it

Well off to golf now followed by a sex orgy on the porch at Bonifay Country Club - who knew it was so much fun here.

Wait... I like the rock ‘n roll idea. Drugs are likely prescription and sex is mostly fantasy. Guns and golf cart more likely.

A squatter living in the street of the Villages, looking for a "Nurse with Cash", sounds weird and dangerous.

So are there orgies or not? At the average age of villagers I hope not.

Default So what!

Jean Kirkpatrick once said....everybody is entitled to their opinion...even if it’s wrong. That’s what can be said about this film. I don’t recall anyone saying The Villages was perfect when I bought here. If you don’t like it...MOVE!!!!! It’s definitely not for everyone. You can give your opinion, but that’s one person.

Just found the documentary on Amazon Prime. It's downloadable there and other streaming options.
