The movie is about an old couple who wants to sell their apartment because they're tired of walking 5 flights of stairs every day, and finally end up not moving because it turns out they liked their old apartment. But nothing interesting happens in the meantime, besides their dog getting sick and recovering at the end. No humor, no conflict, no drama, no intense moments. You expect something will happen, but it doesn't. The plot is completely flat and mundane. Even the message it tries to convey (how sentimental value is more important once you reach a certain age), it does it poorly. The only thing worth watching this movie are the beautiful shots of New York.
