Valley of the Sun

This film has talent and a great sense of humor and style. I don't plan to watch it again with friends like I might other movies, but I have watched it twice and enjoyed it more the second time. As the synopsis states, adult star character Vick Velour, whose real name is Andy, has a mental breakdown and needs a rest. His parents, the fabulous Barry Corbin and the irrepressible Beth Grant, take him to their retirement community to chill out. While recovering, he is befriended by two of the male residents and also meets Heather Burns. The cast of this movie contains a lot of talent and everyone is just right for their role, including Graham Greene. My selling point is Johnny Whitworth and Heather Burns. I think they have exceptional likeability and genuine chemistry. If you are into types, Johnny is totally a Dermot Mulroney type; laid back, understated, and looking to avoid being noticed. Andy is able to use his experience to help some of the community members, and starts being real with Heather's character Betsy. That's the kind of movie it is, the love interests' names are Andy and Betsy, and at one point they go square dancing together. No great dramatic scenes here, just an affirmation of honesty, accountability, and humility. I suggest you wach at least until Andy walks down the street in his green velour suit, hat, and glasses. His 2011 Ray Bans made me visit the company website.
