These Old Broads

The "Old Broads" were playing themselves of course (or at least their public image) and a fabulous sendup it is. I thought it all hilarious and cheers to the ladies for their sense of humor. Maybe Liz was rather much with her obviously phony Brooklyn accent but it fit in with the camp sensibility.

I can't imagine why anyone finds the scene in the gay bar objectionable since it's no more "real" than the rest of the movie and fits in with the plot IMHO.

It's not Shakespeare but who cares?

January 20, 2017: In view of the events surrounding the recent day-apart deaths of Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds, I think it's time to put out a deluxe DVD reissue of this TV movie.

I have always been a big fan of all the ladies but not particularly of Joan Collins, I wasn't as familiar with her work and never knew she had such a great sense of humor. I LOVED this movie!!!! All the under remarks were the best knee-slapping part of the entire film! Everyone of the ladies were fantastic, poking fun at themselves and laughing and I just could not stop laughing! I wish I had taped it! I hope this is one tv movie that will be available for sale. Neither my husband nor myself wanted this movie to be over - what a great job everyone! The writers wrote great material and those old broads pulled it off grandly! Thank you for a great night of comedy!!!!! And thank you for laughing at yourselves. That wig scene that Debbie Reynolds did, the look on her face when she realized her wig was off, ohmygosh, I thought I was going to bust a gut! And Joan Collins, when she saw Debbie's wig was off....oh gosh, we had tears running down our faces we were laughing so hard! Then the cat fight with Shirley McLaine.....I just can't tell you how our sides are hurting today from laughing so. Thanks again, it was GREAT!!!!!

If you're fed up to the back teeth with pretty young things with silicone enhanced breasts and un-enhanced talent, this is the movie for you! The team of Collins, Reynolds, and McClaine are a laugh riot in their roles as mature actresses with less-than mature mentalities, libidinous tendecies, and old grudges. And speaking of mature...well...let's just say that most of the humor is a bit too hot for children. (Especially when Collins' Mobster boyfriend...Nah, I'm not givin' it away!)

This is definitely the best made-for-TV movie that I have ever seen! Four of Hollywood's greatest stars, Shirley MacLaine, Debbie Reynolds, Joan Collins, and Elizabeth Taylor team up for this absolutely hilarious comedy. MacLaine, Reynolds, and Collins play three former movie stars who appeared together in a '60's musical entitled "Boy Crazy", and team up once again for a reunion special. They're all terrific, but it's Elizabeth Taylor's delightful performance as an eccentric Hollywood agent that is sure to stay with you long after the movie is over.

I hope they make a sequel! It would be such a great joy to see these four equally gifted ladies together again.

This movie is by far one of the funniest movies ever made! What more can you ask for from a movie? I mean the 4 best actresses and a hysterical plot! Awesome writing, loved every minute of it! For sure one of those movies you can't help but watch over and over again!
