Breezy look at a group of elderly widowed friends in Pittsburgh, and whether or not their friendship will survive once one of them hooks up with a guy. "The Cemetery Club" is nothing special. Lighthearted without being mushy, the movie is the type that you'll probably only be interested in seeing once; while enjoyable, it's not enough to merit a second watch. Plenty of good performances, though; have Ellen Burstyn, Diane Ladd, Olympia Dukakis and Danny Aiello not turned in great performances?
Watch for a young Christina Ricci as the granddaughter.
