Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
SUCH a wonderful movie, it's pretty inspiring and you're definitely going to cry (some tears will be happy). Couldn't picture 3 more perfect people to represent the leading ladies. It's hard to explain to other people why they should watch a movie and feel the things that you feel while watching it. But I kind of think that's a lesson from this movie. Feel however you want, do what you want, but "make it matter".
I was pretty surprised, i don't like amanda seyfried (sp) she must have a really good agent because she is ugly and a bad actor, but in this she was pretty good. it's a pretty cliche movie about old hag who is lonely, and becomes nice with the help of nice youngsters. she "sees the light". But it was really cute and touching. I didn't like the soundtrack though. Too boring
I struggled with how to rate this. The acting was good and the story was good, but the idea that someone can be so controlling, selfish and mean her whole life, and at the end of that life when she is all alone because of that behavior, have her actions suddenly transformed into, to paraphrase, "making people be all they can be" is bull. Like I said, she was a mean, selfish and controlling person who no one liked, and never even attempts to make any redemption for that.
This is just the kind of film that my grandparents would enjoy EXCEPT for the language. I should have counted the number of f-bombs.Shirley MacLaine and Amanda Seyfriend were both great and the story was touching and funny. If not for the language I would recommend this much more. It's a shame.
