James Plath Family Home Theater The MacLaine-Lange pairing is good but not great, though I'd be hard-pressed to tell you exactly why. Maybe it's because you don't feel any depth to their friendship, and they're supposed to be best friends. Rated: C+ Jan 16, 2018 Full Review Susan Granger SSG Syndicate These veteran actresses deserve better material than this predictable, cliche-riddled script. Rated: 4/10 Oct 15, 2016 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Senior-citizen adventure-comedy is unlikely to engage teens. Rated: 2/5 Sep 20, 2016 Full Review John Lui The Straits Times (Singapore) A well-intentioned comedy starring good, extremely likeable veteran actors, all of whom deserve a much sharper screenplay. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 13, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Graham Y Why would a decent cast agree to participate in such a poor and unfunny script / story? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Toomuch P Another movie about silly, horny old ladies. Too bad it’s a waste of a good cast Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review marie-ange V I can’t even comment on this movie - it was so ridiculous — just bad! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review M B I thought this movie was funny and I never like anything! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Mark D Absolutely atrocious! Just about everything about this movie is horrible. The writing feels like it was written by a 10-year old. The acting is half-hearted. I had no idea that Jessica Lange couldn't act at all. In fact, I was wondering if she was drunk while making this movie. I couldn't wait for it to end. And here I thought Ms. Mclaine was choosy about the films she made. Ha! I guess she'll do anything for the money these days. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/23 Full Review Jeongbu 3 This movie was like a cheap wanna be remake of thelma and louise. no wonder it only made 21k at the box office, this movie sucks. the acting isn't great which is surprising from jessica lang, the plot pacing is bad and the writing of the movie is awful and dragged for an hour and a half too long. i'm so disappointed.
