Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Excellent but underrated film

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

I have to say I enjoyed every single moment of this, a truly moving, funny and engaging movie that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Two actresses I have always admired, both true talents, combining once again to great effect. The pair had worked together many years before in an episode of takes of the unexpected, back then Joan was the star, with Pauline somewhat in her shadow. A similar tale here, but as it goes on you see there's depth to both characters. Some great humour, mostly from Joan, and some heart breaking moments, many from Pauline. I urge you to watch this film. 9/10

A narcissistic wooden has-been trying to drum up more work in circumstances that could hardly be less appropriate- surprising that Joan would dare this as it invites comparison with her real-life career (!)The film looks as if it has been filmed on a shoestring and could have been written by just about anybody to be frank- there was precious little wit or warmth about it. If it was meant to be about either character confronting their own demons in an escapist context, it missed the mark in profundity.Curiously a fellow viewer kept looking at their watch, and every time I saw the time on it I wondered how the film had been filling the time as little seemed to have happened.The lack of expression in Joan was a concern, confusing me as to whether it was due to senescence, plastic surgery or unabashed laziness. A missed opportunity to be sure, but I can imagine Joan eating a takeaway for less than this cost to make. When the paparazzi aren't watching, obviously.

21 March 2017 Film of Choice at The Plaza Dorchester this afternoon - The Time of Their Lives. Starring Joan Collins and Pauline Collins as Helen and Priscilla, two women who couldn't be more different, they end up together on a bus on a day trip to the beach which culminates in them both ending up in France. Billed as a female buddy movie, this was a lot more mundane, these two characters were not really buddies, just two ageing women drawn together by the desperateness of their lives, one a Hollywood actress whose star is definitely on the wane, the other an unappreciated housewife haunted by memories of the past. What ensued should have been funnier, should have been more emotional but in reality the acting was wooden and slightly uncomfortable to watch. Take Joan Collins out of the equation and I felt I was watching a modern remake of Paulines Collins' big hit Shirley Valentine. It was a pleasant enough way to spend a couple of hours but that's about it.
