Armadas e Perigosas

Funny movie with great performances from Pam Grier and Florence Henderson. It's not Shakespeare but it doesn't pretend to be.. it's a comedy that works ecause f it's spareness and no nonsense sense of humor. Judge Reinhold is good also , in fact I didn't recognize him t first.. This film is as nice diversion for an hour and a half....

Is this Oscar material, nope, but I did enjoy the movie. It was corney but exactly what you would expect. I watched it on TV, not in the theaters and I found the plot was suspenseful and the little old ladies, especially Florence Henderson were delightful. Just go with it and accept the genre and you will find yourself laughing out loud.

THIS IS NOT A BAD MOVIE...EVEN MY WIFE ENJOYED IT SOME...THE PLOT IS PRETTY EASY TO FOLLOW & IT KEEPS U WONDERING WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT...I RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO EVERYONE...A BLOCKBUSTER HIT ITS NOT BUT GIVE IT A CHANCE!

The plot is interesting enough though there is really no suspense involved or action to speak of. A pack of grannies figure life in prison is not that long at all and embark on setting things right for a friend. In doing so they set off a chain of events that put them in constant peril.

If's a comedy so there are plenty of goofs and gaffes and obviously the world is never so easily put in neat boxes. The point is to laugh at the absurdity of the situation and life in general. Unlike many dark comedies made lately, you actually root for the good guys in this movie.

There are parts that will give you are really big belly laugh, unfortunately too much time is spent on side plots and wastes of time or this could have been one of those gems that accidentally fall out of Hollywood from time to time. It's funny but too much is just biz as usual in movie making to be epically funny.

Well worth wasting an hour and a half if you have nothing pressing to do or better to watch. You will laugh and be entertained. That's the best most movies can ever say.

I'm not a big Florence Henderson fan, but she was awesome in this movie, as were all the ladies!!! This movie was definitely not what I thought it would be, and actually turned out to be something I'd love to see a sequel or two from!

One of the best "B" movies made in a long time! Destined to become a cult film for sure.

Just goes to show you, don't base someones intellect or gumption on their age! They are sure to surprise you!
