Only wish I could get that 1 hr & 47 minutes back. I'm of the age of the cast and was sorely disappointed in this movie. It is a travelogue of Italy (a beautiful place) and they spend entirely too much of the film on tourist stuff. It has a cliche script making me think this is what the writers think older women are like. The plot is predictable, there are no surprises or plot twists and very ittle comedy. Candice Bergen was the only one who even came close to being funny. Jane Fonda could've phoned in her part; which was pretty much the same as her role in 80 for Brady. Why Hollywood thinks this 85 y/o actress is still sexy is beyond me (but her plastic surgeon deserves an award). Mary Steenbergen had a couple of moments in the film. She's a better actress than this role afforded her and her wardrobe was sad especially the dress they put her in for the wedding; as the youngest cast member she deserved better. Diane Keaton has been playing the same role her entire career and is still wearing the same ol' turtleneck blouses & that stupid Annie Hall hat (insert eye roll emoji) But the wardrobe aside this movie is just lame-o and boring.
