Film Reviews by DJ

I love Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen and Diane Keaton and this is a brilliant follow up to the original film. As it began during Covid-19, it was good to see how the girls coped during that time and put the film into perspective. It was shot mostly in Italy which was another added bonus. Also Andy Garcia - love him too! Plus someone I didn't recognise until I checked, Don Johnson, of Miami Vice - he has aged well and had a good role. Another surprise was Hugh Quarshie of Casualty - he popped up and even sang. After reading the critic review, perhaps this only appeals to women and also those of a certain age!! Also women tend to have tighter friendship bonds than men and therefore I totally understood the bond the women had. I'd like to think this is what I might be doing with my friends soon, being in that age group and having some friends I have known for 50 years. It gives you the idea of 'don't give up', just go for it. I hope the girls do another 'chapter'!

But as I say, the film is perhaps not everyone's cup of tea, but certainly I loved the film - so much I watched it twice!

Don't normally do 'action' films but really enjoyed this, plus the extra footage showing how everyone had to be trained to fly the aircraft. All the cast were great, can't believe Tom is 61 either! A great film, with an excellent cast and also I can't believe it's been 30 years sine the first one. Great movie - but I can see from reviews that it doesn't appeal to everyone! I love escapism films too.

Loved seeing this film, particularly after the recent sad news of Tina's passing. Such an inspirational woman, with such charisma, and also to see how much she had to fight to keep going after such a challenging life. I'm so glad to see she found happiness in her latter years with her husband. Great to see so many interviews with Tina herself and recently too (2019), plus Erwin her husband and others who played a major part in her life. She has left a legacy of some wonderful music and performances.
