Alien at the Movies

Queen Bees

It’s “Mean Girls” of the geriatric generation when an independent grandma (Ellen Burstyn) reluctantly agrees to temporarily move into a retirement community while her home undergoes major house repairs. This bittersweet rom/com uses humor to highlight the issues concerning growing old. Perfectly cast is a wonderful group of older familiar faces including Jane Curtin, Ann-Margret, Loretta Devine, Christopher Lloyd, & James Caan. This is an entertaining lighter side look at making friends, dealing with growing old & finding love.

Alien gives it 3 “never too late” stars out of 4.
