Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum reprise their roles as an unlikely
pairing of undercover cops in this action comedy sequel based on
the 1980s TV series. Following their success infiltrating a local
high school, fresh-faced police officers Morton Schmidt (Hill) and
Greg Jenko (Tatum) are despatched to college to try and crack a
crime ring. However, the different lifestyles available in college
threaten to reawaken old divisions, as Schmidt is drawn into a
liberal artistic circle and Jenko finds a home in the
testosterone-fuelled domain of the football team. Will the pair be
able to put aside their differences and remain focussed on their
objective amidst the many opportunities and excesses offered by
college life?
Everyone says they would like to retire early, but Rodney Rothman
actually did it -- forty years early. Burnt out, he decides at the
age of twenty-eight to get an early start on his golden years. He
travels to Boca Raton, Florida, where he moves in with an elderly
piano teacher at Century Village, a retirement community that is
home to thousands of senior citizens.
"Early Bird" is an irreverent, hilarious, and ultimately
warmhearted account of Rodney's journey deep into the heart of
retirement. Rodney struggles for acceptance from the senior
citizens he shares a swimming pool with and battles with cranky
octogenarians who want him off their turf. Before long he observes,
"I don't think "Tuesdays with Morrie" would have been quite so
uplifting if that guy had to spend more than one day a week with
Morrie."
In the spirit of retirement, Rodney fashions a busy schedule of
suntanning, shuffleboard, and gambling cruises. As the months pass,
his neighbors seem to forget that he is fifty years younger than
they are. He finds himself the potential romantic interest of an
aging femme fatale. He joins a senior softball club and is
disturbed to learn that he is the worst player on the team.
"Early Bird" is a funny, insightful, and moving look at what
happens to us when we retire, viewed from a remarkably premature
perspective. Any reader who plans on becoming an old person will
enjoy joining Rodney on his strange journey, as he reconsiders his
notions of romance, family, friendship, and ultimately, whether
he's ever going back to work.
