We know where this movie is going almost immediately. Diane Keaton's character has an everything must go yard sale, and after the sale she packs up what’s left, cancels her upcoming appointments for chemotherapy, and drives to a relentlessly cheery retirement community in sunny Georgia. It is the perkiest retirement community where people wear pastels and ride everywhere in golf carts, they all wave to everyone who passes by, and all residents are required to join at least one club to promote socializing. The thing that becomes quite apparent is that some mean girls in high school never quite outgrow it, and lord their will over women in a retirement community. Keaton gives some significant push back, starts her own cheerleading club, and powers through to a joyous ending before she dies. It isn’t a movie that delves too deeply into the range of emotions presented, but it is a fun week night movie, despite the serious subject matter.
