PlotThe story follows Hollywood actor J Kimball (played by J.K. Simmons) who chooses to research the aging process for an approaching motion picture role. To get an useful feel for his character, he enlists himself in The Coconuts Convalescent Home-- a retirement community in which his character supposedly resides. His journey in the home commences with an uncommon expectation; he thinks the senior seem to be having fun and enjoying the 'no responsibilities' way of life. However, J rapidly understands that his presumptions could not be further from the reality.
Interactions at the HomeIn the retirement community, Kimball connects with a group of mischievously comic and no-nonsense elderly people. The 4 'geezer' buddies portrayed by Basil Hoffman, Lou Beatty Jr., and Beverly Polcyn, to name a few, show him a different angle to aging. They have an amusing yet cynical outlook on life, which involves pranks, sarcasm, and an unexpected flair for experience. Their interactions result in hilariously chaotic circumstances, far from the 'tranquil' image J Kimball initially wanted.
Hilarity EnsuesThe motion picture then takes a much more amusing turn. Far from getting the peace and tranquility he anticipated, J is at the receiving end of a series of tricks by the geezers, who aren't exactly welcoming towards interfering outsiders. Kimball feels absolutely out of location amongst these old yet dynamic people who turn his so-called research into a rollercoaster flight of ridiculousness.

Final Reflections on AgingDespite being filled with humor and mayhem, the movie manages to depict the typically neglected and extreme truths of aging. Through his journey, Kimball quickly realizes that getting old isn't for the weak and meek. Difficulties and isolation are genuine, but so is the amusing, irrepressible spirit shown by the 'geezer' buddies who show that age is indeed simply a number. The movie closes with a parting shot that shows the movie was, in fact, a documentary made by the original J. Kimball who, after delighting in substantial laughs and lessons, finally comprehends what growing old is all about.
