2022 * R * 1h 36m It's raunchy and filled with a constant barrage of foul language. Predictable. Full of dumb humor. And the critics hated it. But you know what? I really enjoyed it. There were several times when I laughed out loud. I thought the leads did a great job. Sure, it's no masterpiece. But sometimes you just need a good laugh. And this little flick delivered.
Macy (Toni Collette) and Savanna (Anna Faris) are two sisters who could use a bit of cash. When they find out their rich Aunt Hilda (Kathleen Turner) is on her deathbed, they immediately pay her a visit, determined to sweet talk their way into inheriting her estate and money. But when they get there, they discover other family members have the same idea. And it's a race to see who can do the most effective sucking up job to win over their aunt. You pretty much know how it's going to end--even though the writers tried to surprise you. Like I said, it's been done before.
Kathleen Turner does a great job as the foul-mouthed, bitter old hag. Some of her lines are laugh-out-loud funny. And David Duchovny is also hilarious playing a total pervert. You can just tell the entire cast must have had a blast making the movie. And I sure had a blast watching it!
