kjrwe Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I saw this for the first time tonight, and I sure have mixed feelings about this movie. Basically, several storylines are followed, about different groups of people who come to California for different reasons. ** I liked the storyline involving Maggie Smith and Michael Caine. ** I also liked the one with Walter Matthau, Herbert Edelman, and Elaine May. That one had a very amusing ending. (Thank you, Elaine May!) ** The one with Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor started out well. Their opening scene with the car having problems sure put a smile on my face. However, their scenes went downhill VERY quickly. What a waste of talent! Cosby and Pryor are capable of much better work. ** I was VERY disappointed with the Jane Fonda-Alan Alda storyline. Ugh. How extremely boring and heavy-handed! Among other things, it seemed to be an indirect Jane Fonda self-promotion. Sad. Who else has seen this film and what are your thoughts of it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
