IN A NUTSHELL:
The story is about three elderly ladies drink a magical whisky which makes them younger. The movie was directed by Stephen Cookson, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Andy Davie and Julia Stuart.
THINGS I LIKED: The cast is filled with actors that the target audience already likes (mostly Brits) such as Diane Keaton, Lulu Kennedy-Cairns, Hayley Mills, Patricia Hodge, David Bromley, and David Harewood. The young actresses who play the main starlets are Genevieve Gaunt, Hannah Howland, and Esme Lonsdale.
If you're a fan of Boy George, you'll get a kick out of seeing him in this. The three older woman are invited to perform with him, which is odd since none of them sing.
Lawrence Chaney plays himself as a famous drag queen.
The more I age, the more I can relate to this story! Hmmm...what would YOU do with a younger body transformation?
THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: Diane Keaton seems to be obsessed with the wrinkles on her neck because she guards and hides her neck carefully in every scene with turtlenecks, buttoned-up shirts, and scarfs. She's always dressed like the same character in Annie Hall. One of the characters sees it and calls it "French chic." The plot doesn't always follow its own rules and doesn't give us much backstory to truly root for the three main women.
Cliched dance scene at the end of the movie during rolling credits.
The movie is very woke, something I'm not sure the target (older) audience will appreciate.
I wonder why they chose Boy George to be the Las Vegas performer in the film. He wasn't exactly the Golden Generation's musical icon.
Ultimately, the movie could have been much better.
TIPS FOR PARENTS: Kids will be completely bored.
Talk of a lesbian relationship. We see lesbians kiss.
A drag queen performs in Vegas.
No profanity. Yay!
