Smart, funny, and full of heart. This update of the 1981 film hits the sweet spot for anyone 40 and up. Tina Fey’s writing is clever and nuanced, capturing the ups and downs of long-term friendships with wit and warmth. The cast is stellar—especially Kerri Kenney-Silver as Anne—and the inclusion of a gay interracial couple feels true to modern friend groups. Yes, it leans into nostalgia, but with fresh depth and realism. If you’ve ever vacationed with old friends or weathered big life changes, this one will hit home.
