The laughs in this insomnia cure come in the first act

Roger Moore
Movie Nation
The MacLaine-Lange pairing is good but not great, though I'd be hard-pressed to tell you exactly why. Maybe it's because you don't feel any depth to their friendship, and they're supposed to be best friends.

James Plath
Family Home Theater
These veteran actresses deserve better material than this predictable, cliche-riddled script.

Susan Granger
SSG Syndicate
Senior-citizen adventure-comedy is unlikely to engage teens.

Barbara Shulgasser
Common Sense Media
A well-intentioned comedy starring good, extremely likeable veteran actors, all of whom deserve a much sharper screenplay.
