There aren't a lot of geriatric sex comedies out there, but Desperately Seeking Susan director Susan Seidelman's low-wattage, sleepily paced new comedy-drama Boynton Beach Club feels awfully familiar all the same. Maybe that's because so much of it seems indebted to teen sex comedies, a much more populous subgenre from the other end of the age bracket. From sexual embarrassment to exploring uncharted carnal waters to male and female bonding, Boynton Beach Club explores much of the same territory as the American Pies of the world, even if its characters are more concerned with having sex for the first time since the death of a beloved partner than losing their virginity. Boynton even has an analog to the beloved nervous-adolescent-buying-condom teen-flick staple in a scene where oldster Len Cariou buys Viagra from an indiscreet pharmacist while busybodies cluck their disapproval.
