Overview :It is like Sex and City for mature women .. candid, funny and brazen chickflick.

StoryLine : The story revolves around four lifelong friends. Jane Fonda, Diana Keaton , Candice Bergen and Mary Streenburgen .

Diane (Diane Keaton) is recently widowed after 40 years of marriage. Vivian (Jane Fonda) enjoys her men with no strings attached. Sharon (Candice Bergen) is still working through a decades-old divorce. Carol’s (Mary Steenburgen) marriage is in a slump after 35 years

The plot revolves around sex with the Mcmuffin being the book “ Fifty Shades of Grey “  and slowly moves away from physical intimacy to deeper issues in their lives .

The movie is superficial and does not probe deeper into the problems of aging , except a few scenes , and everything has a fairytale touch to it but smart and cheeky dialogues had everyone in the audience laughing aloud.

 

Script Analysis : The Script is good .The Director has potrayed the story of four freinds

From discovering new romance to rekindling old flames, they inspire each other to make their next chapter the best chapter.

Performances : It is a delight to see 4 equally talented ladies together in a movie. Their performances goes beyond any limits

P.S. Watch only if you can enjoy risqué jokes

Rating 3.5*/5*
