This movie held me absolutely spellbound! Certainly not because it was great acting or a great plot, because of how young Donna Mills looks. The woman is 84 years old!!! It has me seriously questioning if she was digitally enhanced in the film. She looked very natural and like "herself." Someone in another review felt that Linda Gray looked the best. I'm afraid I have to disagree with that assessment. While I agree Linda has aged gracefully, Donna looks incredible. Just to clarify, I am a 61 year old straight woman. I'm saying this because I am in awe, not because I am attracted to her. Which FYI,, is the same age as Nicolette. I think Donna looks younger than all of them, Nicolette included. Donna and Linda are the oldest, both born in 1940. Lonnie is next, born in 1945. Then Morgan, 1950. To sum it up, they all looked really good. After all, it has been 40 years since they were in their If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. They were beautiful young women, why wouldn't they turn out to be beautiful old women( compared to their peer group, of course)?

This was the most disturbing movie I have seen since "pretty baby" with Brooke Shields. I am not a prude- horror is my favorite genre. I just think that we, as a people, need to draw the line in exploiting children in the name of entertainment. Not sure why something like this is even allowed into production. This has most likely scarred this child( the actor playing Molly) for life. She should not have been exposed so graphically to something of this nature, as such a tender . With that have been said, it was also one of the most poorly written movies I have ever had the misfortune of watching. None of the characters had any redeemable qualities, except possibly Ryder, and even then you are not sure. There is no plot development - it sort of just meanders without any rhyme, reason, or conclusions. I wish I hadn't watched it. I found it extremely offensive on all accounts.

I am perplexed as to why they would cast a 55 year old Nicole Kidman to play a 40 year old Lucile Ball? Not sure what they did to Nicole's face to try to achieve this look, but it was very distracting. Lucile Ball was a beautiful woman, as is Kidman in her natural state. This movie made both Lucy and Nicole homely. Then they choose a 35 year old to play Vivian Vance. Does everyone not see the incongruity? And honestly, I don't understand why an actor such as Nicole would accept a role not suited to her age. Same with Javier Barden- too old for the roll. In a nutshell: I think Desi and Lucy would be deeply offended by the actors chosen to represent their younger selves.
