Just You and Me, Kid (1979)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Leonard Stern
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

George Burns is basically playing himself, a retired comedian living alone in his posh mansion, when he finds Brooke Shields naked in the trunk of his antique car. She is on the run from her pimp after stealing 20K in cash. Burns finds something to give his life meaning, but Brooke is slow to warm up to the idea. Well, the pimp eventually shows up and it is up to Burns and some of his aging friends to save her. An old fashioned movie built around cliched characters and predictable situations, but stirs up nostalgia for old, forgotten Hollywood, much like George Burns himself.
