...obsess over their ages, and the onset of their mid-life crises becomes the focus of the movie. Meanwhile, their wives and girlfriends form cliques, mock the men, and joke about swapping husbands. In fact, the characters refuse to discuss anything but sex and old age. The racy scenes spiral out of control until one of the men attempts suicide.

In the meantime, I don't know how much more the thinking people of this country will be able to stomach. I am in my advanced years, and I have never seen our country suffer such an outrage as this Administration. I am not calling for impeaching President George W.
