I believe there were errors in protocol for growns and gloves attire before and after surgical procedure. Attire should be donned after entering surgical room. Attire removed before leaving surgical room. I wonder if a medical professional was consulted about the protocol. There are lots of references about this in medical surgical books. I am a nurse and was trained about this. I liked the movie on the whole. The sets were colorful and added to my fun experience. The actors were experienced and seemed to have fun filming this movie. One could tell they were seasoned actors. The costumes were exquisite. Loved the wedding gown. Movie made me laugh and kept my interest.

Well what can I say... a tv movie script from the ninetees they found lying around that is totally predictable and blunt with a few unnecessary scenes leading to an allegedly funny situation, a bit of a problem that gets solved and some shameless tearjerking. Not the worst actresses (and supporting actors) but they were not at the top game of their game here and there was chemistry missing. I don't know what their intentions were with middle aged people (wich is kind of what this film is about), but we came out looking awful. There was one hilarious scene, although not intentionally, where they dragged out a Michael Bolton statue from Madamme Toussaud's to get the party started. Now that was awkward! Great singer, but actor... sorry, not so much.

I saw The Fabulous Four, starring Susan Sarandon-Blue Beetle, Ray Donovan_tv; Bette Midler-the Hocus Pocus movies, The Stepford Wives_2004; Megan Mullally-Will & Grace_tv, The Disaster Artist; Sheryl Lee Ralph-Abbott Elementary_tv, Ray Donovan_tv and Bruce Greenwood-Doctor Sleep, Passenger 57. This is a perfect example of how movies can affect people differently. I thought it was mediocre for this type of movie-aimed at an older audience-but my wife loved it. Susan, Bette, Megan and Sheryl are long time friends until Susan & Bette have a falling out. Susan thinks Bette stole her boyfriend when they were in college and has not even spoken to her in years. Megan & Sheryl decide to try and put them back together and when Bette decides to get remarried-her husband that was supposedly stolen from Susan died recently-it seems like a good time to reunite them. Bette lives in Key West, where Ernest Hemingway lived for a time, and of course, there is a lot of trickery and out right lying involved in getting Susan to go there-they tell her she won a trip in a contest. After she is there, she can not just get on a flight and go back home, now could she? Of course not. Things get better when Susan meets a local bar owner, Bruce and sparks are igniting. FYI: If you like Michael Bolton, he pops up for a mini concert. It's rated R for drug use, language and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 39 minutes. It's not one that I would buy on DVD-I'm not the target audience-but it would be alright to stream.

This movie is unwatchable. I was done after 10 minutes because the acting is horrible and the plot has been done a zillion times. I would have expected so much better from these actresses. It is time for hollywood to stop making thee types of films. The kind with older actors who phone it in just for a paycheck. They probably won't though because it makes them money, I guess. It doesn't mean I have to watch this drivel. It is too bad that some of these women have over their lifetime built solid acting reputations and have been diminished to the point of putting together these kinds of films. Just don't.

I knew from the trailer how this film was going to go down. I was not holding out much hope. I don't understand why movies with older men in it can be given decent scripts, then you get a cast that is so magical in the older leading lady department, especially Sarandon and Midler and you deliver something so poorly written it hurts my brain. These women deserve scripts of a higher caliber. Not mindless dribble, that is laughs void and storyline vacant. Was it as bad as Summer Camp? NO, but it still failed to deliver, I even cringed at certain moments. Please, Please writers, write better scripts for these stars.

The script is a little wanting in this movie, but not every movie that cones out need to be riverting or leave you with sone profound message. This is a fun comedy for a girls outing, suited to 50's+. There is however a message in a way, in regard to letting go of anger in friendships. The charasmatic Bruce Greenwood added some older man eye candy as did the strip show, which was quite a funny moment. It is debatable whether the slightly cheesy sing-song ending was the best, but hey it again fitted in with the light hearted nature of the film. It is a shame that some viewers have taken such a hard stance on what the film falls short on.
