The Golden Boys

Depth of cast alone attracted me to this movie. The storyline even looked good. Bad acting spoiled the party however. But, it is still worth a watch under certain circumstances.

David Carradine, Bruce Dern, and Rip Torn play 3 retired sea captain bachelors. They advertise for a bride/housekeeper in 1905 Cape Cod, and Mariel Hemingway applies and get the job. Charles Durning plays a cranky old religious zealot neighbor.

This is a cute story of small town romance. All the main characters are likable. What little music there is feels awkward and the scenery could have been better for having been shot in such spectacular place.

Watch this with your grandparents or with people who don't critique movies.
