The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

It represents an idea of what some of the baby boomers might experience while using today's social media (facebook). I thought it was cute and funny! Two British female actresses talk about how to pursue a date with a baby boomer gentleman. What method of communication does Judi Dench end up using to get through to the gentleman? Watch and see! I like it when the baby boomers know something about technology. It gives them lots to do and keeps their minds active. I know my mom won't ever have dementia or Alzheimer's because of knowing her technology at the age of 70. Keeping our whits about us as we age could be very beneficial and the technology industry definitely supports us in that way with lots to choose from.

Judi Dench has turned 80 last year and is easily among the most famous actresses of her generation. Here she stars in a little 12-minute movie, in which she plays a woman who, together with a friend, is experiencing the mysterious world of online communication. She talks to a guy on Facebook and after some struggles and waiting, the two finally meet up. Foggin and Croucher, the two men who wrote and directed this little movie, have worked on some pretty popular movies and television series in the past already, but unfortunately, experience does not really help in order to make this one here a good movie. I found it fairly underwhelming. It's very much in the tone of Dench's "Best Marigold Hotel" movie or "Downton Abbey", so if you enjoyed these, maybe you should check out this film here as well. Or just if you are a huge Judi Dench film. Tom Hiddleston is in here as well, but really only very briefly at the end. All in all, not a memorable work. thumbs down.
