But they can't save this movie from a poorly thought through script and its many plot holes.
The border crossing was a joke with a cavity search for drugs and then followed in quick succession by a release into Canada. And then a back track back to the US to pick up Dukakis and go through the border again in the same truck? Hello? And the granddaughter not realizing her granny and her partner of 31 years are not lesbians? Too much slapstick, and the ending had to end in a punishment for the lesbian theme. Always that same old cliché at the end of such movies.
Most disappointing as the set up of the male stripper and the old couple settling down together had far more appeal.
Too bad, it started really, really well and finished with such a whimper.
4 out of 10.
