Where's the Rest of the Movie?
12 July 2023
Well, how can you go wrong with Tommy Lee Jones, Hilary Swank, John Lithgow and Meryl Streep? Well, firstly, Lithgow and Streep only have short cameo appearances, so their names are there just to sell the film. Now, Swank and Jones as usual deliver great performances, but the writing and continuity are pretty rough. Their are gaps in the plot and the character development. Worst of all, it seems that someone yelled cut as the film was already lengthy and it just....stopped. The film clearly needed a director as Jones had his hands already full.

The premise of the movie certainly was intriguing and when we finally met the 3 crazy ladies, I was expecting a very wild and somewhat humorous ride, but it just ran out of steam and ended. Very disappointing.
