The Hot Flashes Movie Review: | |
| In critical ways, the movie is a mess. The basketball scenes are so sloppy and haphazard that the would-be slapstick registers as confusion. But away from the court, the actors bring their caricatures to folksy comic life. Stephen Holden-New York Times A Lifetime movie, minus the commercials, but with every predictable twist and turn and treacly message intact. She shoots. It bores. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Lifetime movies have their pleasures, and so does this film. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post [A] strained and soapy empowerment comedy ... Justin Chang-Variety Even though it earns an R rating for profanity and some risque material, it's too meek and mild-mannered to qualify as brave, or even slyly subversive. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post This comedy deserves credit for taking a decided viewpoint - and delivering a heartfelt if occasionally misguided message. Scott Bowles-USA Today Funny, sometimes funky feminist fable by ur-feminist director Susan Seidelman is easy to like, if hard to believe. Marsha McCreadie-Film Journal International Older women may still have game, but comedy drops the ball. Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media The leads in The Hot Flashes come across as one-dimensional, pseudo-feminist clichés whose conversations seem contrived and whose jokes land with the thud of airballs clunking on hardwood. Jen Chaney-The Dissolve Seidelman's direction holds the picture in place, and its interest in health issues and cancer awareness is commendable. There's predictability a-plenty, but also some heart to make the pains of familiarity palatable. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com Early in The Hot Flashes, Brooke Shields is seen reading Menopause For Dummies, and it doesn't take long to realize that's precisely what you're watching. Mike D'Angelo-AV Club Susan Seidelman's attempts to provide positive, alternative representations of marginalized people and problems is overly ambitious. Tina Hassannia-Slant Magazine A menopause comedy is a terrible thing to waste. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service With its suspenseful plot and a dream cast starring five fascinating actresses (plus Eric Roberts in a deliciously unsympathetic role), this unusual comedy is irresistible. Betty Jo Tucker-ReelTalk Movie Reviews Women with balls. Feisty older actresses with attitude, including Brooke Shields, Daryl Hannah, Virginia Madsen and Wanda Sykes, not into being sidelined because of age, on the basketball court or on screen. Prairie Miller-WBAI Radio Could emerge as the sleeper hit of the summer. It is hilarious, heartfelt and, most significantly during a special-effects dominated season, human. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest | |
