DVD Reviews of These Old Broads
DVD Review: "I know a friend who lipoed her stomach once. A few months later, she looked like Jabba the Hutt"
Summary: 4 Stars
I was really looking forward to finally seeing this movie, as it stars four of my favourite ladies from Hollywood's golden years (Joan Collins, Debbie Reynolds, Shirley MacLaine and Elizabeth Taylor) and features a script especially tailored for the gals by Carrie Fisher ("Postcards from the Edge"). Just like that autobiographical comedy based on her relationship with mother Debbie Reynolds--ironically played by Shirley MacLaine--this story is set in the world of backstage Hollywood, and has quite a lot of bite in it's satirical view of celebrity ego.
THESE OLD BROADS is the story of three has-been actresses who are asked to reunite when their 1960's "Where the Boys Are"-knockoff movie musical suddenly becomes popular again on the revival circuit. TV execs approach Wesley Westbourne (Jonathan Silverman), a serious producer of documentaries, to convince his born-again, New Age mother Kate (Shirley MacLaine) to commit to the project. He'll have an ever harder time swaying her former co-stars Piper Grayson (Debbie Reynolds), who has retired to operate a Vegas casino stocked with old movie costumes; and Addie Holden (Joan Collins), a virtual recluse still in close contact with a jailed Mobster boyfriend.
Once the ladies are set, the fun begins! Addie's boyfriend escapes prison and suffers a fatal heart-attack in the throes of passion (an hilarious throwback to one of Ms Collins' classic "Dynasty" scenes); Piper's husband (Peter Graves) looks certain to be yet another notch on Addie's bed post, and Kate must reveal a bombshell concerning Wesley's true parentage...
Elizabeth Taylor has a small but fun role as the ladies' agent Beryl Mason, a tough-talking, pot-smoking harpy. Carrie Fisher also appears in a brief cameo. One of the best scenes sees Piper and Beryl discussing their past romance with a certain man who is none-too-subtly based on Eddie Fisher. Taylor made headlines all over the world when Eddie Fisher left his wife, Debbie Reynolds and their children--one of course being Carrie Fisher--in order to marry Liz, still mourning the death of husband Mike Todd who was a close family friend. Although the two buried the hatchet long ago, congrats to Fisher for bringing together momma Debbie and "scarlet stepmother" Liz for this lovely on-screen reconciliation.
This will be an essential purchase if you're a fan of the gals.
