The Hot Flashes (2013)
Directed by Susan
Seidelman this film stars Brooke Shields, Daryl Hannah, Virginia
Madsen, Wanda Sykes and Camryn Manheim. Middle aged women get
together a basketball team to play the current girls State high
school team for charity.
There will be few
surprises in this film as it follows the basic plot of many a sports
film and really has little to offer in terms of originality in any
area. The writing is fairly weak, there is little character
progression and the story is far too pedestrian to explore any themes
at all. No doubt there is plenty to be said about the experience of
middle age from a female perspective but this film is not the one to
do it.
2/5
