The Fabulous Four

What a waste of good talent! The script was poorly written, directed poorly and the location looked more like a promotion of a tourist destination in a very tacky part of the USA. Product placement was oh so obvious....it was all so much in your face. We walked out of the cinema after 30 mins when the "stars" started to sing in harmony whilst flying through the air against which was so obviously a false backdrop. My friend and I were very disappointed after the trailer promised so much! I'm a big fan of Bette Midler & Susan Sarandon....this movie was beneath both of these fab actors! Could not recommend.

What can I say, other than everything about this movie is cringeworthy. So much wasted potential with these actresses. Bette Midler was typical Bette, making faces and shrill. Megan Mullally was a lower octave Karen from "Will and Grace" only with pot instead of booze and pills. Sheryl Lee Ralph was useless and seemed to be there only to check a diversity box. Susan Sarandon looked the entire time like she knew this movie was a mistake. The whole movie felt like a Liftetime tv movie...cheap looking, rushed, AI script, cheap jokes, terrible directing. There's not one moment where I felt like any of these characters were behaving in a realistic manner for women of their age and their place in life, completely unrealistic scenarios and actions. And I can't even begin to describe how awkward the whole Michael Bolton scene was. It seriously looked like a wax figure...he didn't move, just a blank stare into space and singing, no movement whatsoever and no interaction with anyone in the scene...extremely weird and uncomfortable. Skip this one for sure.

My wife and I saw the trailer and really liked it. It reminded us both of the film Last Vegas. The basic storyline similarities are plentiful. The problem is the execution. The only positive I have is Susan Sarandon. Her character's storyline is the only thing worthy of admission and she delivered with what she was given. The other ladies were given nothing to display their brilliant comedic talents. The thought of seeing Broadway legends Bette Midler and Sheryl Lee Ralph on the big screen was gonna be epic. Too bad these writers and director were not up to ther task.

As I stated earlier, if you have seen the film Last Vegas, you could say this film looks like the female lead version. Fabulous Four has the powerhouse talent just the same as Last Vegas and even similar storyline arcs, but this film relies too heavily on cheap, immature, repetitive, bad jokes and not enough energy building a good script. Wait for streaming.

This movie is unwatchable. I was done after 10 minutes because the acting is horrible and the plot has been done a zillion times. I would have expected so much better from these actresses. It is time for hollywood to stop making thee types of films. The kind with older actors who phone it in just for a paycheck. They probably won't though because it makes them money, I guess. It doesn't mean I have to watch this drivel. It is too bad that some of these women have over their lifetime built solid acting reputations and have been diminished to the point of putting together these kinds of films. Just don't.

Well what can I say... a tv movie script from the ninetees they found lying around that is totally predictable and blunt with a few unnecessary scenes leading to an allegedly funny situation, a bit of a problem that gets solved and some shameless tearjerking.

Not the worst actresses (and supporting actors) but they were not at the top game of their game here and there was chemistry missing.

I don't know what their intentions were with middle aged people (wich is kind of what this film is about), but we came out looking awful.

There was one hilarious scene, although not intentionally, where they dragged out a Michael Bolton statue from Madamme Toussaud's to get the party started. Now that was awkward! Great singer, but actor... sorry, not so much.
