“The Leisure Seeker” features some quality performances wasted on a mediocre story and a predictable plotline. Italian director Paolo Virzi, in his English language film debut, presided over this tale of an elderly couple on their last road trip. The less-than-satisfying story is from the screenplay penned by Virzi, Francesca Archibugi, Francesco Piccolo, and Stephen Amidon. Is this an example of too many cooks spoiling the broth?
Donald Sutherland and Helen Mirren are as good as they have ever been in this Italian production. The supporting cast includes Christian McKay, Janel Moloney, Dana Ivey, Dick Gregory, Kirsty Mitchell, Robert Praigo, and Mylie Stone. “The Leisure Seeker” is a loser in theatrical release.
