That’s the broad-strokes plot of Just Getting Started, a featherlight comedy pitting Freeman and Jones against one another in a contest for supremacy over the Villa Capri nursing home.
From the same denial of time’s passage that brought us the film in which Robert De Niro relentlessly pranked Zac Efron, behold a new feature in which Morgan Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones relentlessly prank one another!
As the rivalry between Freeman and Jones looks poised to cool into a friendship of grudging respect, Freeman drops the bombshell that he’s in witness protection.
