Debbie Reynolds's daughter--Carrie Fisher, a noted Hollywood script doctor--cowrote this television movie as a sort of Grumpy Old Women, so the story goes. Viewed in that light, this 91-minute lark is entertaining, if frequently inane. It's the story of the professional reunion of three feuding costars (Reynolds, Shirley MacLaine, Joan Collins) after their '60s musical becomes a cult hit decades later. The fun part is the skewering of their real lives that these actresses good-humoredly allow. Reynolds plays a Vegas casino-owning diva who showcases her own talent and allows her dolt of a husband to run the business side of things--a state of affairs not too different from her real Vegas days. MacLaine offers a comic version of her legendary spiritual persona with such zingers as "My inner child is having such a tantrum." And Joan Collins makes fun of her choice of men with a mobster boyfriend instead of that litigious young husband of some years back. Elizabeth Taylor makes a goofy cameo appearance as the actresses' agent, and Fisher has a lot of fun staging a verbal catfight between the agent and Reynolds over a man named Freddie. (In real life Liz infamously stole Carrie's dad, Eddie Fisher, from then wife Debbie.) All pretty good. But why the framing with MacLaine's "adopted" son, inhabited by the unfunny Jonathan Silverman; and why the too-broadly caricatured producer? Only the daughter knows. --Kimberly Heinrichs

It has a stellar cast, a good screenplay but the director FAILED to get these stars to shine. I was so disappointed

I love this movie, eventhough the critics hated it and the TV showing got panned but it is fun to see these actresses camping it up.These women are the last of a generation of real MOVIE STARS. What young actresses today could make this kind of movie and make it work. It is not a great film but it is lots of fun to watch while eating extra butter popcorn...go Liz!!

Funny; these women still have it; great cast and good lines between these screen legends. They can make fun of themselves, they have been here at the Hollywood golden age and are still here!

It's a flimsy story, a rather weak and shockingly uninspired Carrie Fisher screenplay. On that alone it should be dismal. But something wonderful happens as "These Old Broads" begins to unreel, four fabulous stars from Hollywood's silver age take the tried old script and turn it into movie magic.
Elizabeth Taylor has the smallest role but turns in a fun and funny characterization complete with a Brooklyn accent. Then there is Joan Collins (Twentieth Century Fox's 1950's answer to MGM's ... Read More

The very witty and talented Carrie Fisher wrote this film, and it unites classic movie stars Shirley MacLaine, Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Collins, and Fisher's mother Debbie Reynolds. For that reason alone, this movie is worth watching. The supporting talent is also great: Jonathan Silverman, Gene Barry, Pat Harrington, Pat Crawford Brown, and Nestor Carbonell.
I loved this movie when it first aired on television, and for years waited for a DVD release (it was released on VHS previously, ... Read More
