    Frankie and Grace did it much better
    I have no objection to a film about older American women enjoying sex and romance on a European holiday, but, please, write it intelligently and make the jokes funny. I get that it's about older women getting their mojo back on a European holiday and I for one celebrate that. But there are so many cringey moments here and jokes that just fall flat, it renders the film almost impossible to enjoy. There's a deep irony about a film about the lust for life that sucks the life out of you while you're watching it. Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin did post-menopausal romance a whole lot better in the TV series Frankie and Grace.

    Feels forced!
    This review is from a 74 year old who has loved those actresses for a long time! I'm sorry gals but this movie is a circus! The get together greetings feel forced and it seems the actresses are aware of their looks and try hard to smile in a certain way. Jane Fonda and Mary Steenburgen look so much alike because of plastic surgery while the other 2 seem to have aged more naturally! No woman their age acts like this, I'm still a kid inside and love to stay away from the old woman stereotype but this is ridiculous! What bothered me the most I think was the feeling of forced acting just trying to get this over with ! I don't even think they do it for money but for just staying in the limelight. Well it's time to either take on some roles fitting your age or quitting acting! It's as disappointing as Netflix taking iconic women and their accomplishments and turning them into lesbian movies totally ignoring their accomplishments, so annoying! Still love you though ladies!
