The greatest movie ever made..!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I watched this film with my wife not expecting it to be for me but I was pleasantly surprised, it was well acted, which I expected from such a strong cast and in parts quiet amusing. While it may have been a bit (well a lot) formulaic and the end could be guessed from very early on it wasn't a bad way to spend an hour and 45 minutes.

It was impossible to watch it for more than 30 minutes, so maybe you should take this review with a grain of salt. After all, there are movies that get better towards the end. But the whole thing starts with one of those upbeat trumpet songs that scream with no inkling of subtlety "now it's time to be amused", four cliched women of over 50 who are in a book club just so that they meet once a week and discuss for about five minutes books that have been done into movies and the rest about their "real problems" like love life and ex husbands. The humor is artificial, the whole Andy Garcia scene in the airplane had be cringing. In the end, even if I have the utmost respect for the actors in the film, I could not continue watching it. It's crassness and cardboard formulaic characters made that impossible for me.

I loved the movie, a feel good movie for those of us who have reached our best age. And great actors made this a pleasant experience.

Four strong beautiful women get rescued by men AGAIN. Few laughs here and there, but the script is just pathetic. Top actors, lousy movie.
