Sweet Sixty (Opening film)

At the age of sixty, two friends in financial difficulties are going to benefit from their image in the fashion and advertising world. One is still handsome, the other never was. But beyond the game of appearances, what is it really like to be of retirement age today? 

• As a mismatched duo – a motif as old as the world – Thierry Lhermitte and Patrick Timsit know what they are doing and deliver the goods very well…
  Translated from Marin Bilodeau’s review in Mediafilm.  

• A great duo of actors. Their duo works wonderfully in Sexygénaires. Their complicity is blatant and reminiscent of the great duets of Francis Veber’s films. We guess all the friendship they have for each other in this film where the dialogues are tasty.
  Translated from Kalai Chan’s article in Femme Actuelle 

•  Light, tender and populated by perfectly chosen supporting roles (Olivia Côte or Zineb Triki, too rare since “The Office of Legends”), this is a film that ages rather well…
  Translated from Fabrice Leclerc’s article in Paris Match 

• Well-written, often funny and perfectly paced, this bitter-sweet comedy by Robin Sykes is mainly due to the Thierry Lhermitte-Patrick Timsit tandem.
  Translated from Julien Barcilon’s article in Télé 7 jours 

• The dialogues hit the nail on the head.
  (…) chiseled dialogues. They fit in well, not just for the sake of joking or for some other forced effect. And if the feature film plays more on the level of comedy, it also allows itself moments of more serious and welcome emotions.
  Translated from Yoann Jenan’s article in Télé-Loisirs 

The story relies on this mismatched duo to create funny situations. Sober, the adventures of the two protagonists are suitable for the widest audience.
