Just say no
If you think it's going to be thelma and louise all over again, FORGET IT. This movie is slow, pointless and just NOT funny. Save your money, really.
For the "Grand Dame" of Film, the long trek was over.
The film is a tribute to the wisdom and the forgiving nature of an aging mother(Jessica Tandy)who has been kept apart, by choice, from the embrace of the man she has loved by her unwillingness to challenge the selfishness of her coddled son and only child.
Her lover was portrayed by her off screen husband(Cronin)whose closing dialog was rendered bitersweet by the subsequent passing of the persona of Miss Daisy snd Ninny Threadgood.
An adeptation of a story written by a Canadian author takes the viewer on the delightful voyage of higher learning of two unlikely traveling companions. (Bridget Fonda)accompanies "Camilla" on a trip that begins in a grove of moss covered vines on a sprawling Georgia Plantation and returns her heart to a small flat near Niagra Falls.
The plot twists and turns through art imitating life situations that are familiar and amusing. If you are a Jessica Tandy fan it's a must see, if only to bid her a fond farewell and.
an offbeat female buddy picture
Jessica Tandy and Bridget Fonda find themselves on an unlikely buddy adventure when they team up to get away from it all. The movie is funny, touching and just a lot of fun. Not an award-winner but certainly a fun time. If you just want a feel-good movie that will make you smile, this one's for you!
