4 stars because I was entertained. I laughed and cried thinking of my best friend whom I went with---we also have been friends for over 50 years like the ladies in the movie. It is a precious gift that I have been given.
Many have spoken poorly about the movie. I wasn't expecting an Academy Award winning movie, nor did I care that the scenery was not in the proper order. It made me laugh, it was light-hearted, it had 4 great actresses who are still beautiful in their own way. I don't care if Jane Fonda looked too plastic, or that DIane wore yet another of her trademark hats, I loved every one of them.
Why, because in today's depressing, troubled world, I laughed. I forgot about the shootings and murders and endless banter about Biden and Trump. I traveled with them, laughed with them, I enjoyed the scenery, loved the gorgeous men in the movie, and I absolutely appreciate that these 4 marvelous actresses had fun and took me along for the ride.
