Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Stephen Abell There's something strange about this little comedy... It's not a great story, though there are a couple of twists. When Bobbi (Wall) finds out that she is about to lose her house to her ex-son-in-law, after the death of her daughter, she turns to her friends for help... Unfortunately for him, this quadruple of octogenarians don't mind getting their hands dirty. When Mimi (Henderson) goes to visit him, things get out of control when she pulls a gun... From here on in, events start to spiral out of control. You have a loan shark wanting his money back and is willing to kill for it. A detective who is smarter than he looks and is hot on the heels of the missing ex-son-in-law and the mystery surrounding the disappearance.The acting isn't too great. Even Henderson and Grier have problems with getting a grip on their characters and at times seem out of odds with the story and the film. It's Wall, Reinhold, and Parrish's characters that shine the most and they are brilliant in their portrayals. It's Parrish's portrayal of the flirtatious Ava that added the most light to this film. As for Eaton who played Virginia, I have to wonder what the point of her character was... it just feels like she was there to make up the numbers. Oh and then there's Batinkoff as Detective Mclemore. I really feel for him as he appears to be a decent actor, but at times his comedic movements are way over the top and unfunny in this type of situation and this style of comedy.The direction isn't great and even draws on other films for its scenes... take the "Pass The Spliff" scene where we get comedic close-ups of the actresses and actor all partaking in a tote or two. This has been done so many times before that I cannot actually name where I saw it first. There were plenty of times that both tension and suspense could have been added to the film but were totally overlooked. The scene where the Detective knows in his gut that something is fishy with the old galls so decides to check out the house. Instead of adding atmosphere the director decides to play it for laughs... and as I said Batinkoff's comedy walks are not up to the Monty Python excellence. This gives the whole movie a steady pace, which, at times, makes it feel boring. It needed a kick up the arse.All that said... I found it to be a very enjoyable movie. It's genuinely more enjoyable than the sum of its parts actually appear. On paper, you shouldn't like this film... but it is a nice Sunday Morning easy flick... with murder and dark humour. I laughed out loud and that is the job of this movie... I even felt good at the end... and I may even watch it again...So I would recommend this to the lovers of gallows humour and good "Bad B-Movies". For some weird reason this worked for me, it may work for you too. Though I will warn you the worst part of this film is the opening titles - they are truly horrendous...and not in a good way.

mharrison-william I'm so tired of watching these craptasic movies they are putting on Netflix, so when I see something with such classic characters in it, I assume it's going to at least be watchable. Wrong. Maybe I was disillusioned by the Brady Bunch when I was a kid, so I didn't realize the good ol' Flo has always been such a poor actress? I really wanted this to be like a feature-length version of Grace & Frankie, but it fell way short.The acting was subpar. Everyone looked like they were trying to hard and it appeared very unnatural. The story was what I would expect from a movie like this, but fell short in the delivery.

toogoodu-56389 I'm not a big Florence Henderson fan, but she was awesome in this movie, as were all the ladies!!! This movie was definitely not what I thought it would be, and actually turned out to be something I'd love to see a sequel or two from! One of the best "B" movies made in a long time! Destined to become a cult film for sure.Just goes to show you, don't base someones intellect or gumption on their age! They are sure to surprise you!

dan-899-231208 Went to the theater not having anything in mind - the poster looked funny Pam Grier form Jackie Brown and Ms. Brady - thought we would check it out - to our surprise unique and refreshing - campy and funny - I would recommend it - A side note I believe this is Florence Hendersons last role too -
