A great film about people getting older that is very dialogue driven with good acting and a great story. The story is very simple but entertaining.

90% of the reviews are obviously written by lovers of New Zealand or worked on the movie. The script is average and the acting is awful. Liked the concept, but the execution was not very good.

Older means many things here. First it means the older memories go deeper and color everything. The older girlfriend from high schools is his best friend and brings out the best in him. Older is his beloved mom and dad. Older is he. Older and wiser the boy becomes man and embraces what really matters. The multi-layered script deserves a ten. Great scripts seem ordinary yet somehow transcend the mundane through the magic of provacative acting. A delight!
