Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

HotToastyRag Is there anyone out there who wants to see Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor sit down, hold hands, and argue about sex and a man Taylor's character stole from Reynolds's character decades ago? How about hearing Shirley MacLaine say, "My inner child is having such a tantrum" while wearing a turban and waving incense in front of her face? These Old Broads was co-written and co-produced by Carrie Fisher, as yet another hate letter to her mother. Apparently, she didn't get it all out of her system in Postcards From the Edge. In this one, her mother plays one of the title characters. Fisher had problems, problems she desperately wanted the world to know about via projecting her hatred for her mother up on the big screen. Why else would she create a movie about four old hags, all playing caricatures of their real-life personas, who hate each other and quip extremely stupid one-liners about their age, appearance, and sex lives? The only reason anyone would sit through this terrible, terrible movie would be if they were 100% on Debbie Reynolds's side during the Eddie Fisher scandal and still want revenge on Elizabeth Taylor, and if they get a thrill from making fun of older actresses. Basically, Carrie Fisher. Anyone one else will most likely, and wisely, turn it off.

Ed 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.

ShirleyMacLaineGirl 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!

susras I have always been a big fan of all the ladies but not particularly of Joan Collins, I wasn't as familiar with her work and never knew she had such a great sense of humor. I LOVED this movie!!!! All the under remarks were the best knee-slapping part of the entire film! Everyone of the ladies were fantastic, poking fun at themselves and laughing and I just could not stop laughing! I wish I had taped it! I hope this is one tv movie that will be available for sale. Neither my husband nor myself wanted this movie to be over - what a great job everyone! The writers wrote great material and those old broads pulled it off grandly! Thank you for a great night of comedy!!!!! And thank you for laughing at yourselves. That wig scene that Debbie Reynolds did, the look on her face when she realized her wig was off, ohmygosh, I thought I was going to bust a gut! And Joan Collins, when she saw Debbie's wig was off....oh gosh, we had tears running down our faces we were laughing so hard! Then the cat fight with Shirley McLaine.....I just can't tell you how our sides are hurting today from laughing so. Thanks again, it was GREAT!!!!!
