After his daughter persuades him to move into a new apartment, aged widower Fred strikes up a friendship with his eccentric 74-year-old neighbour Elsa, who convinces him it's never too late to keep enjoying life. Although he seemed resigned to a miserable bedridden existence, Fred embraces Elsa's youthful enthusiasm as she introduces him to the path of life and entertains him with outlandish stories about her past life. But when he discovers Elsa's terminally ill, Fred decides to accompany her on the trip of her dreams to the eternal city of Rome to help her fulfil a lifelong ambition.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Unlike so many American remakes of foreign films, this reboot improves on the original, mostly because it takes full advantage of the star power of its English-speaking cast.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,
18 Dec 2014
rotten:
A not-terrific, not-terrible romantic comedy that owes most of its charm to its two stars.
– Stephen Whitty,
Newark Star-Ledger,
7 Nov 2014
rotten:
A bland and formulaic tale of two senior citizens who discover that it's never too late to fall in love - which may well be true, but doesn't keep this rickety recycling of a 2005 Spanish-Argentinean comedy from feeling long past its sell-by date.
– Justin Chang,

fresh:
The movie's too-cute concept yields more rewards than you might reasonably expect.
– Stephen Holden,
New York Times,
6 Nov 2014
fresh:
Though the issues are heavy, the execution is light, enjoyable, but it keeps "Elsa & Fred" closer to "Sleepless in Seattle" than Fellini's deliciously deep Roman affair.
