“Queen Bees” Despite Mean Girls, Finds New Love in Exclusive Retirement Home

Directed by Michael Lembeck, Queen Bees follows fiercely independent senior Helen, played by Ellen Burstyn. While her house undergoes repairs, she moves into a nearby retirement community ― just temporarily.

Once behind Pine Grove Senior Community doors, she encounters lusty widows, played by Anna Margaret, Loretta Devine and Jane Curtin. Their cutthroat bridge tournaments and a hotbed of bullying “mean girls,” the likes of which she hasn’t experienced since high school, all of which leave her yearning for the solitude of home.

But somewhere between flower arranging and water aerobics, Helen discovers that it’s never too late to make new friends and perhaps even find new love, played by James Caan.

The rest of the cast includes Christopher Lloyd, Elizabeth Mitchell, Matthew Barnes, French Stewart and Alec Mapa.
