The Time of Their Lives

I have to say I enjoyed every single moment of this, a truly moving, funny and engaging movie that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Two actresses I have always admired, both true talents, combining once again to great effect. The pair had worked together many years before in an episode of takes of the unexpected, back then Joan was the star, with Pauline somewhat in her shadow. A similar tale here, but as it goes on you see there's depth to both characters. Some great humour, mostly from Joan, and some heart breaking moments, many from Pauline. I urge you to watch this film. 9/10

You really have to hand it to Joan Collins. This film was made when she was 84. Yesterday she was 90. She's still working.

Collins stars here with another Collins, Pauline. Joan plays an old has been movie star living in a nursing home and hating it.

When the nursing home has an outing, Pauline, in town with her grouchy husband, gets stuck on the nursing home bus.

Before she knows it, she's run off with Joan, who needs her help getting to a director's funeral in France. Supposedly she wants to reintroduce herself to the Hollywood big shots. "It will be just like the Oscars. A little sadder, but not really." Joan has another agenda which she doesn't think to mention.

They do take the ferry to France, and then the problems start. They wind up stranded and become the guest of renowned artist Alberto Rossetti (Franco Nero) who finds Pauline enchanting, which makes Pauline rethink an unhappy life.

Things go from okay to bad to tragic. Somewhere in there, when Joan isn't stealing Pauline's wallet and lying to her, they find true friendship.

It's silly fun with good acting and beautiful scenery.

This film tells the story of a nice old woman in an unhappy marriage, who bumps into a former film star. She is coerced into a trip to France by the film star.

The two women have very different personalities and very different hearts. One is nice, helpful but carries a burden in her heart. The other is a selfish and manipulative woman who will use everyone around her. Different things happen to them, and it's refreshing to have a reminder that nice things happen to nice people. The scenery is nice and the weather is beautiful too. There are many things to like about this film. It is worth a watch.

Joan Collins is back and she has wonderful scenes. There are no aliens nor guns just two old ladies who came together with some sad and some funny moments. And there is just more than it looks on the beginning.

Camera work and scenery are wonderful.

For the younger CGI and X-Men-whatever generation it might be slow and possible boring but I would call it as a wonderful heart wearming old school movie. And Joan Collins (wellknow as Alexis Carrington Colby from the 80s super hit "Dynasty") is portraying wonderful a old Hollywood diva.

Fazit: personally I loved it
