    A great black comedy for a rainy day

    I saw this film first at a film festival in the UK and had to watch it again.

    A film with 4 elderly female leads - and to take a serious subject such as alzheimer's disease and make a black comedy is no mean feat.

    This is not a fim with jokes. The humour comes from character and the acting process oozes from these great actresses bones. It did hark back to old Ealing comedies and checking out the film's website I see that this was the intention - so well done to all those involved.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this film. If it comes to the cinema I will watch it again.

    Recommended

    This film was recommended to me by a friend who watched it. A black comedy with heart - I really enjoyed watching. The acting from the 4 mature leads was excellent. Fair enough a bit cheesy in places but it had a gentle charm - even though murder involved. It's not going to be a film for everyone but for the right audience (including me) it is a winner!

    Great fun..

    Gentle comedy about "mature " ladies. Obviously not to everyone's taste. If you're looking for edge of the seat car chase carnage, blood soaked terror or best buddy heists avoid this movie.

    Good to watch

    A very easy watch. A black comedy about 4 older gals and their problems with their friend's dead husband.

    Some great humour and good acting.

    First 5 mins is the worst

    Just got a feeling it's one of the worst production when watching the first 5 mins, but it getting better right after. I won't say it's top funniest comedy but it's still fun to watch. Desperate housewives idea and not too bad to watch.
