Review of Queen Bees (2021) by Serengeti — 18 Jun 2021

This is a very fun movie, but it is really more of a dramedy than a comedy. There are some good zingers throughout, but it is not entirely a comedy. Helen has had to leave her house due to an unfortunate accident, and does so very unwillingly.

Her controlling daughter wants her to move into a senior housing center where Helen expects to have to deal with “old people.” Of course, old people are still human with all kinds of personalities and flaws, and Helen has a run-in with one immediately.

The supporting cast is very fun: Jane Curtin is great fun to watch, Ann-Margret and Loretta Devine are also in the mix, as well as James Caan and French Stewart. A great cast, lots of fun moments and poignant ones throughout.
