Keaton always dresses same in every movie.

Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy. The pairing I didn't know I was waiting for. I'm here for it.

by Anonymousreply 2April 8, 2024 10:46 PM

Keaton's movies are always an 'up' and it's good to have a movie coming out with an 'up' for me. I like it.

Thanks, Diane :)

“Poms”, “Mack and Rita”, the “Book Club” franchise, and now this dreck?!?? How badly does Ms. Keaton need a paycheck? She’s been making some major stinkers recently!

Diane made a mint-and-a-half in California real estate. She has an Oscar. She has more turtlenecks than she could possibly wear in her remaining years.

Why the FUCK does she insist on killing her legacy, one shit movie at a time? I'm with R5.

At least De Niro has all those fresh bastards and prostitutes to support. At least Morgan Freeman has dozens of Mississippi relatives to support and send to rehab. What's Diane's excuse? Did Woody Allen not fuck enough brains into her?

Kathy Bates always did have a tin ear for picking roles. Apart from her stage work, Misery, and Dolores Claiborne, her entire resume is a loaded litter box. Same goes for dear Alfre Woodard, whose Oscar chances dried up around the same time as Jessica Tandy's womb. These two NEED the money.

Alfre Woodard has an Oscar, R6.

Alfre Woodard has an Oscar *nomination*

by Anonymousreply 8April 9, 2024 2:10 AM

Never mind- Alfre was nominated, but did not win.

R3 I agree. Must every movie but great or ground breaking or a career performance? It's a light, little romp with some funny ladies I like to watch. And I maybe these older gals keep making movies because they love making movies. It is their career. I enjoy seeing people that are older than 55 from time to time. I'll make my husband watch it and I'll make margaritas for me. And eat a gummy, natch.

Kathy's wig looks awesome, can't believe she can pull that off so well.

by Anonymousreply 14April 9, 2024 3:32 AM

The way Keaton dressed reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons when Marge about the discount Chanel dress and kept wearing it and then refashioned it into cool apps and then tried to turn it into another dress.

I like seeing been to the pinstripation of whatever those wraps are that claim you could turn them into like 1,000 different outfits or something.

Anyway I haven't watched a movie of her since first wife's clothes and I wonder if any of them are ever worth watching because they never seem to be reviewed to kindly.

The recent “old wives club” cinema wave with movies largely starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Diane Keaton, and Candice Bergen is overplayed!

Meryl Streep is somewhere laughing her ass off! She doesn’t JUST cater to nursing home cinema rooms’

by Anonymousreply 16April 9, 2024 3:36 AM

How does she look like that at almost 80? What kind of surgery is she doing?

by Anonymousreply 17April 9, 2024 3:36 AM

R5, it looks like “Poms”.

by Anonymousreply 18April 9, 2024 4:01 AM

If it's schlocky on Keaton's part (and I love her), I'd like to think Bates and Woodard will save it from complete and total destruction. I'm always thrilled to see Bates & Woodard apart or together.

They previously co-starred in Tyler Perry's "The Family That Preys", which ALSO co-starred fierce-as-fuck Sanaa Lathan in a nasty role (she does "cunt" very well), and hottie Cole Hauser in an equally nasty role.

I'll be looking for this, OP.

Was this made before Kathy Bates lost all the weight?

Alfre looks like Oprah in that pic.

The only film where I pray for no nudity.

I'm sure the inevitable skinny dipping scene will be tasteful AND hilarious.

Maybe embarrassment nudity from Josh Peck?

I happen to love these movies that bring together a group of wonderful, experienced actresses. Are the plots Oscar worthy? Not usually. But they're fun films and the talent is there with these women, whatever they're acting in.

Given how few roles there have been historically for women past a certain age, I think we need more movies like this, whether it's Jane, Lilly, and Candace or Diane, Kathy and Alfre.

Let's see more with Goldie Hawn, Debra Winger, Bette Miller, Jessica Lang, Meg Ryan, Whoopie Goldberg, Sally Field, etc, etc.

by Anonymousreply 25April 9, 2024 1:13 PM

r25, can they please be well-written and directed to match the calibre of talent involved? Everything so far has been barely worth watching on an airplane TV screen.

by Anonymousreply 26April 9, 2024 1:19 PM

It's nice they're making films for niche markets: gays, elderly, Mexican, black... I'm sure the largest part of its budget was Diane's salary (and she keeps the wardrobe).

by Anonymousreply 27April 9, 2024 1:52 PM

R27 keeps the wardrobe? She brought the wardrobe.

by Anonymousreply 28April 9, 2024 1:54 PM

R26 Yes, ideally. Getting some talented writers involved would certainly help. But acting talent should also be able to elevate a middling script. Lack of directing talent is a bit harder to overcome.

In this case, it was written and directed by Castille London. She has written and directed a handful of movies I've never seen, but this looks to be her chance to break through with bigger onscreen talent. Maybe she'll turn out to be great.

by Anonymousreply 29April 9, 2024 2:17 PM

Ugh. Why can’t they use an ensemble cast of these great older actresses and try to do a serious movie instead. It may even be a comedy, but a good one. But no, just by looking at the photo you can already here the tired jokes and thropes. What a waste of talent.

by Anonymousreply 30April 9, 2024 2:38 PM

Sorry, writer/director is Castille Landon, not London.

With the talent involved onscreen, it's definitely worth viewing before passing judgment in my opinion.

There's bound to be a Viagra joke, fresh from 1998.

There was one in Book Club. There was one in Something's Gotta Give. There was one in Last Vegas.

You know what you never see? Jokes about vaginal dryness, menopause mustaches, and collapsed pelvic floors. What's the matter, Granny Frau? You love to laugh at old men's bodies, but not at your own? Decrepitude is only funny when it happens to Jack Nicholson?

by Anonymousreply 32April 11, 2024 2:42 AM

R32 I bet they've tried those jokes but they don't work with test audiences. They probably make people cringe or dry heave.

by Anonymousreply 33April 13, 2024 5:51 PM

R33 Of course those jokes aren't funny. But suits love to keep them in there, because they assume that's what Flyover Fraus love to laugh about.

I love how you assume that

A) Studio executives still bother with test audiences

B) Studio executives LISTEN to test audiences

If they still used that system, then two-thirds of the shit they're churning out would've been stopped at the first focus group.

Diane should do a tv series.

R34, they do and all films receive a cinema score from test audiences. You’re a moron.

Happy to see Alfre getting work.

Diane's wig is a crime.

by Anonymousreply 37April 13, 2024 11:42 PM

R36 Did they get the test audiences blackout-drunk BEFORE or AFTER they showed them this hot bullshit?

You find me a single group of assholes in any mall in America that will watch this abortion and give it a thumbs-up, and I'll show you a group of fraus who should be flensed.

She did the first season of "The Young Pope" with Jude Law, but wasn't on the next season ("The New Pope").
