I laughed out loud and found parts of it funny - guess I'm going to hell

I have to say that Hollywood, and some of society, has become so puritanical nowadays that it was just funny to laugh at some inappropriate humour.

So an old guy wants to get laid, what's wrong with that, why shouldn't he?

Okay, it was far from a masterpiece, some of the stuff wasn't funny and it might have tried too hard in places but it made me laugh out loud and kept me entertained. I would have been disappointed paying to see it at the cinema but watching it on Netflix was fine. It certainly wasn't the greatest film ever but it also certainly wasn't the worst.

I think that most of the venom generated at it is from the overly dramatic, easily offended, virtue signalling snowflakers and hence a film like this, however clumsy it might be, is a welcome two fingers to those and their boorish, prudish rhetoric that is seeping into every facet or our lives.

I really enjoyed this movie too and thought it was hilarious! It's like one of those stupid 80s sex/spring break comedies

Yes, it's not meant to be taken seriously and is just a bit of fun.

It's the V Generation, V for victim. Young women are victims of the patriarchy by birth according to modern feminism. The ol' biddy feminists don't want their men chasing young tail or the young tail chasing back so they cast a social stigma on wide age differences. Up until fairly recently it wasn't a big deal. Lot of movies from the "Golden Age" had older men and young women and no one batted an eye. A few had younger men and older women, no one minded that either. But I agree, it was a fun movie.

I lmao at De Niro's quotes a couple of times as well pay no attention to the offended sjws if it were up to them there would be no more humor left. not saying this is a great movie but it has its funny moments.

I'm glad to own this movie on DVD. Just popped it in again recently and had some good laughs.
