Wednesday Movie Night: Assisted Living (2003)

So I don't know whether I'm still okay with the fact that I watched this. There is a difference between being indie and just low quality. I think the story is nice, but by the end you're lacking of what was really intended by watching the movie. Many have said that the movie even got them to dreading getting older. The movie is also labeled as comedy despite the lack of laughs I felt after watching. Instead I just felt a bit sad.

Summary: Todd is a janitor at an assisted living facility. He doesn't seem to aspire to much, and he is already struggling to keep his job there. He meets an elderly patient, Ms. Pearlman, who begins mistaking him for her son who has abandon her at the assisted living residence. She has hopes of going to Australia, which must be where her son lives. In order to comfort her, Todd pretends to be her son, but this leads to her confusion that he actually is. Todd though may learn something from Ms. Pearlman for the hope he has given her.
