Pom-Pom Ladies

I went to the theatre to watch this just to keep my family company. I expected to be bored for an hour and a half. This is not an epic movie with an epic story. Doesn't have award winning roles or a genius comedy. But it has such a good vibe to it and somewhat of a lesson to be learned for both youngsters and the elderly. I had to give it a good rating. I enjoyed this way more than I ever thought.

I took my mom to this for Mother's Day as per her request, and fully expected a very hokey chick flick with zero plot, etc. To my delight it ended up being very funny, a bit of a tear-jerker at one point, and overall a cute movie that I'd probably watch again with my mom or girlfriends. I'd call it lightly empowering for females, especially senior women, and overall just really fun.

I really enjoyed this movie. Sure it's not bringing anything new to the genre, but I wasn't expecting it too be anything more than it was. All of the actresses have lived wonderful lives and have accomplished so much in their careers it's great to see such strong women in a movie. I could be a little biased, as I just recently lost my grandmother to cancer, and this movie reminded me why I loved her so much. This is like the perfect movie to watch when you're having a lazy day at the house and want something feel good while you stay cozy. Like a big warm blanket. In my opinion, those are some of the best movie out there.

I've watched more than 2,000 movies and this one here is good. It keeps the movie simple. It's silly, funny, and an easy watch. No complex storytelling or in depth character creation. However, the movie does a great job at not tanking to a bland film. You got fun, drama, jokes, dancing, and love.

This is a movie I would've watched with my grandmother and would have enjoyed it at any age watching it with her. However, my wife and I watched it at 25 & 23 and both liked this movie. I can pretty much watch any genre and liked this one. Maybe it's not a summer blockbuster, or one you will watch a dozen times over. But nonetheless watch it!

Not only is this a good movie but it also does prove a point and that's to "keep moving" don't grow old and do the same mundane stuff every day till you die. Enjoy life, get out, do something crazy and fun. Enjoy the life you've been given. Enjoy the company around you.

The movie Poms directed by Zara Hayes makes one feel good to see a group of women older than 60 living their life with enthusiasm and helping each other to enjoy life. Diane Keaton as Martha is extremely pleasant and well suited for the role. Martha leaves NY and heads to Sun Sprngs,GA retirement community after she refuses treatment for her cancer. Martha decides to let cancer run its course till her end. Martha makes friends with Sheryl (beaming Jacki Weaver) and decides to do something fun in community. Martha does not tell others about her cancer diagnosis and encourages all to be active and get involved in cheerleading group. Rhea Perlman ( Carla from Cheers) as Alice and Phyllis Somerville as Helen have their own stories. Helen's son has control over her finances. The movie is about elderly women who still have a desire to live and not to be discarded just because they have sagging breasts . The movie is very pleasant and as always , Diane Keaton does good work. Needs editing. Not Oscar worthy but definitely makes one feel good to see life in all ages.
