D M @RT72012075 Aug 16 A fun movie and great concept, but I think Carrie's script was not well served by the direction. Very funny performances especially Elizabeth Taylor as the bed ridden agent. One thing that bothered me was the ending production number. The lip syncing was completely not in sync, not sure what that was all about.

Obviously, there's going to be fun to be had with this cast no matter how bad the material. I mean, seriously, anyone who knows anything about the last century of Hollywood who sees these three actresses along with ELIZABETH TAYLOR in the same project, well, that's beyond an embarassment of riches. And co-written by Carrie Fisher, the daughter of Reynolds and one of the great witty personalities of recent memory. It's a shame that the result, when being honest, is sitcom-level material that is undeniably fun up to a point but should have been SOOOOO much better. The screenplay is filled with more than a few good zingers, and it has a lot of fun mixing together the actual lives of the actresses along with the characters they are portraying. But in the end, it all feels really cheap - like a special 2-hour episode of a television comedy. And forgive me for being blunt, but the supporting cast is C-level at best and not worthy of these caliber of legends. In the end, it all feels like a missed opportunity. Nonetheless, I will never regret taking the time to watch this once-in-a-lifetime chance to see this quartet of actresses together. If only the movie itself was worthy of their talents.

See more 03/19/2013 Jesus wept! No wonder this was only a TV movie. Very hammy and cheesy, although there are some quite nice insider digs amongst the overacting barbs. This was clearly a vanity project. See more Read all reviews
