I can’t think of many movies where a come-on line like “I can drive at night” might score any action. Something’s Gotta Give and In Her Shoes, maybe. But the flirty line gets a rise in Susan Seidelman’s new romantic comedy for aging baby boomers, Boynton Beach Club. (The original title was The Boynton Beach Bereavement Club, before marketing considerations prevailed. It could also be called Viagra in the City, for that matter.) Samuel Goldwyn Films/Roadside Attractions has its work cut out for it in selling the film, with humor that’s soft on the dentures and pathos that’s tough on the escapism.
