5 FLIGHTS UP
5 FLIGHTS UP follows a dynamic duo that must decide whether or not to sell their Brooklyn apartment of 40 years. Couple, Ruth and Alex have to contend with eccentric open house guests, their pushy realtor niece, and the health of their beloved family dog — all while navigating a New York on edge from what turns out to be a media-generated frenzy.
A wise comedy about life, love, and real estate, 5 FLIGHTS UP stars Academy Award winners Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman as a couple whose attempts at relocation send them on an urban odyssey — and help them redefine the meaning of home.
This often humorous, delicately constructed and poignant film is based on the novel Heroic Measures by Jill Ciment, which was hailed by Oprah and praised by the Los Angeles Times as “a brave, generous, nearly perfect novel.”

Feedback/Comments
Great acting, enjoyable to watch but lacked a bit of oomph!
Great lead actors. Looking forward to this movie immensely.
A heartwarming tale with a brilliant cast. Anything with Diane Keaton is sure to be a winner as this was in our eyes :)
Easy to watch, but unmemorable. Enjoyed more by the company of seeing it with an old friend!
This story really relates to couple wanting to sell their house.
Great movie
The actors were probably too superior for the roles in this film which had no real punch line. I enjoyed watching the lead actors but there was no real x-factor between them. At least I could see New York for free, didn't have to buy a plane ticket. Thanks On The House.
Loved it..........thought the chemistry between the two leads was great. Heartwarming story.
My Mum, in her 70s, loved it.
Me, in my mid-40s, not so much. I thought with those two leads there would be more chemistry. I expected more charm from the movie. For me it wasn't light enough to be light and fluffy and it wasn't heavy enough to be emotionally touching.
What a great acting combo. . Complimening each other's skills.. interesting storyline and for those it suites a short 90 min movie.
Enjoyed the cast and story
