Castille Landon directed Summer Camp, which tells the story of Nora, played by Diane Keaton, Ginny, played by Kathy Bates and Mary, played by Alfe Woodard. They have been best friends since being inseparable at summer camp.
As the years have passed, they’ve seen each other less and less, so when the chance to reunite for a summer camp reunion arises, they all take it, some begrudgingly and others excitedly.
Each of their lives might not be where they’d imagined, but one thing is for sure — Nora, Ginny, and Mary need each other, and summer camp reminds them why.
Directed by Zara Hayes, the movie stars some old favorites in Poms andfollows Martha, played by Diane Keaton. She moved into a retirement community and met some quirky mature ladies. It’s okay. They are quirky and old, which is the point of the movie. Another excellent message in the film is to live your dreams because it is never too late.
The movie is an uplifting comedy where Martha starts a cheerleading squad with her fellow residents, Sheryl, played by Jacki Weaver, and Olive, played by Pam Grier. And Alice, played by Rhea Perlman. They soon enroll in a cheerleading competition, which is way too young for them, but they still compete and prove themselves young at heart.
Hayes originated the story, and Shane Atkinson wrote the screenplay. Atkinson is known for his work on Penny Dreadful, which he also directed.
The rest of the cast includes Celia Weston, Phyllis Somerville, Charli Tahan, Alisha Boe, and Bruce McGill.
The second poster says, “It’s never too late to chase a dream.”
The three movie clips are cute and show the storyline and humor of the movie. Keaton is so good in these clips.
Keaton is so good in this movie. She leads a great cast of women in their golden years. My favorite of the two clips is “Audition.”
Co-written and directed by Bill Holderman, Book Club follows four lifelong friends when their lives forever changed after reading 50 Shades of Grey in their monthly book club. Holderman has directed a few Robert Redford movies and directed some episodic documentary series.
Book Club looks funny but I don’t know if it’ll have the staying power with the limited demographics, women over sixty.
The movie stars legends Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen with Don Johnson, Craig T. Nelson, Richard Dreyfus, and Andy Garcia as their romantic interests.
This movie clip is fun to watch Don Johnson and Jane Fonda banter back and forth.
This movie clip is so funny, and it’s great to see these legends in a scene together.
The trailer is fun to watch, and you’ll have a good laugh.
