No, you can still develop it. Remember, if there are any spicey photos, be sure to get them on the internet as soon as possible.

I once borrowed my friends old manual SLR camera, with film still in it. I finished off the roll, and took it be developed.
When my friend saw them, she said, wow that was 10 years ago. They came out ok, but with some degradation.
Remember negative film is not that different from normal film. Your normal photos start to fade over the years, depending on how they are stored. Negative film is similar.
But there are 2 things in their favour, firstly your negatives should not be exposed to light (or you lose everything). But heat and moisture could have an effect.
The other advantage is that when they are developed they can adjust the machine to make the shots come out clearer.
So go to a professional developer, and tell them about the age of the film. When I had my friend's old film developed the developer was scratching her head trying to understand why the settings were not working correctly for the film. At the time I didn't know the film was 10 years old, so I couldn't help.

i recently found a roll of film in my mother-in-laws belingings and took it to fred meyers for developing-turns out to be dated 1954-the picutres were beautiful-of her children when they- were young-I even had they enlarges and gave them as gifts to each member of the family--so I dont thank film gets to old to develop-especially when it has been kept in a somewhat safe and dry place-
fyi

its never too late to develop it, but there may be some problems that you will face

nothing is ever too old for that. :)
the ageing may give it some good effects too, depending on how it was stored :3

stale dated film is often still good film and unless it was exposed to extreme heat it's probably good.
