The Reel Review
This gimmicky tale, about a cranky old woman trying to leave a legacy in her final days, works only for one reason: Shirley MacLaine. When her control freak character hires the local newspaper obit writer (Amanda Seyfried) to help her rewrite her legacy, an unusual and inspirational friendship develops. Yes, the film is loaded with overly cutesy and ridiculously unrealistic scenarios, but its feel good, tear-inducing message is an important one – that a life filled with risks and mistakes is a life worth living. MacLaine is stellar.
