Charming and brutal

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The "Old Broads" were playing themselves of course (or at least their public image) and a fabulous sendup it is. I thought it all hilarious and cheers to the ladies for their sense of humor. Maybe Liz was rather much with her obviously phony Brooklyn accent but it fit in with the camp sensibility. I can't imagine why anyone finds the scene in the gay bar objectionable since it's no more "real" than the rest of the movie and fits in with the plot IMHO.It's not Shakespeare but who cares?January 20, 2017: In view of the events surrounding the recent day-apart deaths of Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds, I think it's time to put out a deluxe DVD reissue of this TV movie.

This movie is by far one of the funniest movies ever made! What more can you ask for from a movie? I mean the 4 best actresses and a hysterical plot! Awesome writing, loved every minute of it! For sure one of those movies you can't help but watch over and over again!

Dreadful, awful, a wasted opportunity to do something really fun with a great cast. Carrie Fisher's script was corny and predictable, vulgar and very seldom funny. Another waste of potentially good material, from someone who has proven talent, as evidenced by her "Postcards from the Edge".....what causes a good idea to go so wrong?

The four divas all looked great. Would of liked to of seen more of Elizabeth Taylor. When Debbie and Elizabeth was talking to each other about the past, it was hilarious! Eddie Fisher got his just dues. Some of the storyline was a little corny. But it was great to see all of them again.
