Review of Mack & Rita (2022) by Serengeti — 13 Aug 2022

This is an absolute stinker of a movie. Diane Keaton does her usual schtick - flailing arms, high pitched voice, hands over her face. You’ve seen it all a million times. And wearing the same clothes she always wears: schlumpy sweaters, scarf around her neck, clunky shoes, you’ve seen all that before too.

The story is a cliche - a young woman turns into an old woman, not by a gypsy per se, but a man in a traveling tent with an old tanning bed. The acting by most everyone is atrocious. A 40-year-old neighbor of the 30-year-old, now 70, falls in love with the 70-year-old.

It’s torture to sit through all this. I say, save your money! Don’t even spend it to stream this dreck. Bright spots are Wendie Malick and Loretta Devine.
