Queen Bees (2021)

I’m a sucker for stories, particularly romances, involving senior citizens. Unfortunately like Poms from two years ago, the story here is super light (essentially Mean Girls set in a senior community) and with a different cast wouldn’t be better than any Lifetime or Hallmark movie. Ellen Burstyn as the main character, an older woman who experiences a house fire and is forced to temporarily move to the community, brings quality to the role, as do James Caan, Jane Curtin, Ann-Margret, and Loretta Devine as her neighbors. Christopher Lloyd is also in the film but sadly under-used in his role as a resident experiencing worsening dementia.
