Title: Who looks older: Hunt or Midler?
Review: I agree with all the critical comments here: the plot is hackneyed and painfully predictable; Hunt keeps playing the same role over and over; Firth must've needed the money; Broderick is over the hill; I also agree with the positive reviews, in particular those who note that Bette was the one bright spot. I just couldn't make it to the end. All I could think about was how bad Hunt looked; is she anorexic?. Something seriously wrong here: Bette was born in 1945, Hunt in 1963! While I admire Hunt for her work offscreen getting the book made into a film, I'm afraid it wasn't worth the effort. I'm glad I got this through Amazon Prime. If I had paid for it, I would be annoyed more than I already am for wasting one hour on this film. Admittedly, this wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, but it sure wasn't the best!
