Oppenheim finds no shortage of visual and situational comedy....But Oppenheim resists easy misanthropy, showing unexpected empathy for people who have cocooned themselves from the outside world, only to confront its headaches anyway.

Fascinating.

What She Said
The Villages retirement community might want to be a bubble removed from reality, but Some Kind of Heaven ultimately made a very safe and passably entertaining attempt to burst that bubble.

That energetic vitality driving this sun-dappled valentine to Florida is Oppenheim's own. He's made a honey of a movie.

All that psychological stuff was very interesting. But the point that I really walked away with was that in this community, every man in this community seemed to act like a crazy teenager.

Rating: 8/10 --
A film about human connection in a place where "the good life" can seem all together artificial and unnecessarily sanitized.

Product Description:
Directed by Lance Oppenheim and produced by Darren Aronofsky, this documentary follows the lives of four senior citizens connected to The Villages, touted as the largest retirement community in the world. Located in Florida, the place is referred to as "the Disneyland for Retirees" as residents seem to have a good time amidst the positive atmosphere encouraged in the place. But the film focuses on the stories of four seniors not entirely buying the happy package, as they struggle with their individual challenges.
