6/10
Not as bad as some would say, but lacking something.
4 March 2024
Three friends enjoy a tipple of whisky after a funeral, what they quickly realise, is that the whisky has special powers, the ability to turn back the years....for a short few hours, the girls must use their limited stash wisely.

I get the criticisms about this film, and I'll start with the gripes, and there are several, it is so syrupy, it's enough to give you diabetes, and of course it ticks every single box under the sun, imagine Disney renaming Death becomes her, but removing the magic.

The efforts to create Las Vegas were a little cringe worthy, even Murder, she wrote fans would raise an eyebrow.

However, it's hard not to enjoy the wonderful cast, Diane Keaton, Lulu and the magical Patricia Hodge, the talents of the trio manage to make it watchable for me.

A real waste of Bill Patterson, Hayley Mills and Joanna David, none of them had enough to do.

It could have been so much better, as it stands it not bad, it's sweet, it's well meaning, if only it had focused more on the actual story telling.

I'll give it a very generous 6/10.
