There’s no sense of camp, irony or satire about all the silliness in this horrible film that wants to think it’s a classic comedy, just because a bunch of well-known actors (two who are past Oscar nominees) are saying the lines.“Never Too Late” looks like a cheesy made-for-TV movie, even down to the sitcom-ish musical score. C U Soon movie director: Mahesh Narayanan C U Soon movie rating: Three and a half stars. It’s about the love of my life and the three men who went against all odds to get him back to me. They were known as the Chain Breakers: four young lads full of guts and swagger, a secret elite squad from the U.K., the U.S. and Australia.”Norma further explains that the Chain Breakers became prisoners of war in Vietnam for 12 months until the four men managed to escape. The teenager also mentions that he hangs out at the nursing home a lot because his single mother is afraid to leave him at home by himself after school. Jack immediately finds Norma by herself in a hallway. O'Sullivan returned to the screen after a long absence in the role of an aging woman who discovers she's pregnant, much to the consternation of her elderly husband, Ford, and to the surprise of the rest of the town. Here’s an example of some of the vapid conversations in this useless film. Later, Jack finds out that Elliot lied to him about why Elliot spends a lot of time at the nursing home: Gina says that Elliot is the one who’s afraid to be home alone, and he asked his mother if he could hang out at the nursing home while she works.But something that Elliot tells Jack is true: The other three members of the Chain Breakers are in the same nursing home as he is.
Although the acting is passable, the dialogue in the film is not. Gee, what a coincidence. © 2020 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved. Doors are locked with access cards that only employees have.And later in the movie, it gets worse: When someone in the Chain Breakers gets caught trying to leave the nursing home, he is punished by getting strapped tightly to a bed and injected with medication that leaves him in a zonked-out state of mind.
)There’s also a somewhat unnecessary character named Hank (played by Max Cullen), a Hogan Hills wacky resident in his 90s, whose only purpose in the movie is to barge in on the Chain Breakers’ secret meetings (which they have in a stock room) and make a nuisance out of himself. And he volunteers to help them with their mission to break out of the nursing home. These medical records would be required before he was admitted into this military veterans’ nursing home. Norma says, “For three years, I nursed soldiers in Vietnam. © 2020 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved. (It’s shown in the movie that Bay Lodge isn’t as restrictive as Hogan Hills.
The considerable talents of this movie’s cast are wasted in this film that is dead-set on making almost all of them, especially the senior citizens, look like fools.“Never Too Late” begins with a voiceover from retired Australian military nurse Norma McCarthy (played by Jacki Weaver) and a montage of what’s supposed to be old Vietnam War photos and footage. And after Norma was transferred to the Bay Lodge nursing facility, she was still lucid enough to have visited Jack at Hogan Hills.
There are several tacky jokes made about his forgetfulness and mental stability, such as his tendency to walk around naked from the waist down because he forgets to dress himself down there. Jeremiah, who’s British, was a semi-famous actor, and he’s good at conning his way out of situations. It’s at this fence that Jack meets Elliot (played by Zachary Wan), who looks to be about 15 or 16 years old. Jack refuses to let her leave, a slight scuffle ensues, and security attendants are called.
Thus begins the contrived “race against time” for Jack to reunite with Norma to ask her his big question.Viewers might wonder, “Why can’t Jack visit Norma in person at this other nursing home?” The answer is because Hogan Hills keeps the residents locked up like prisoners. And after he gets a routine exam to test his motor skills (he’s slack-jawed and can barely speak), Jack is wheeled into his assigned room.As soon as the attendants leave, Jack quickly gets up and walks around as if he’s perfectly healthy. James’ letters to Bruce are returned unopened.Sergeant Jeremiah Caine (played by Dennis Waterman) is the smooth-talking ladies’ man of the group. The reunited Chain Breakers call this mission Operation Skippy, as in, they’re going to skip right on out of this nursing home if it’s the last thing they do.And why does Elliot know so much about the Chain Breakers?
It turns out that he’s a Vietnam War history buff and he’s idolized the Chain Breakers for years.

Jeremiah asks Jack: “Do you have a plan?” Jack answers, “Does the Pope shit in the woods?”And there are some hijinks involving a loaded gun that Jeremiah has smuggled into Hogan Hills; Angus’ habit of walking around naked from the waist down; and a predictable scheme to set off the fire-alarm sprinklers in order to force an evacuation. (Obviously, he didn’t do his homework in finding out what kind of facility this really is.) (How convenient.) James might have a gruff exterior, but he’s going through some emotional pain because his adult son Bruce (played by Shane Jacobson), whom James hasn’t seen since Bruce was a baby, refuses to communicate with him.
Jack and Norma are separated before he can ask her the question.While “in custody,” Jack is scolded by the nursing home’s stern manager Kim Lin (played by Renee Lim) for faking his disabilities and causing a ruckus. This leads to numerous family problems since Ford does not feel up to the
Even though Norma has been corresponding with Jack by letter every week for 50 years, they haven’t seen each other in person during all that time.Norma was married to a doctor, and she is now a widow who’s checked herself into Hogan Hills.
