Best Day Ever: Directed by Jeff London. With Mel England, Tom Saporito, Peter Stickles, Ace Lundon. David’s turning 50 and having a Mid-life Crisis! He isn’t sure his “perfect husband” loves him, and if he’s chosen the right career. Aging is something he never thought about, but now he is faced with making the rest of his life count and hopes his close friends can help. Realizing that he may only have about 35 years left, he must figure out his life to ensure happiness and fulfillment. Fate changes everything when he meets a 15-year younger man who shows him that age does not matter, and that maybe his future happiness is right in front of him. Based on the true story of filmmaker Jeff London and how after being single for 48 years, his life changed when he met the love of his life and found his true purpose.

“One of those movies where people talk, they donu0026#39;t DO.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt one point a character says itu0026#39;s the happiest day of his life. We only know this because he says it. We certainly donu0026#39;t see him being happy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are five characters, sitting in various rooms, talking to each other about LIFE problems. At one point a couple is sitting on a porch. Thatu0026#39;s as far outside this movie ever goes. Consequently this is a movie about people talking about living, not a movie about the characters actual lives.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis kind of construction only works if the plot is terrific and the dialog is ultra sharp and witty, rife with multiple meanings. The dialog in this movie is exactly the opposite. Flat, boring, uninteresting. You would think a writer who creates a an indy filmmaker character might be able to show us something interesting about filmmaking. Nope. Nada. Nichts. Nothing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI donu0026#39;t know what kind of life experience a reviewer would need to think this is a 10-star movie. Maybe a small child, or someone living in an iron lung?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAbsolute complete waste of time.”
