Network television executive Gavin hopes to reunite celebrated Hollywood stars Piper Grayson, Kate Westbourne, and Addie Holden in a TV special after their 1960s movie musical Boy Crazy is re-released. Though the three women share the same agent, Gavin's seemingly insurmountable obstacle is that they all cannot stand each other.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Is there anyone out there who wants to see Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor sit down, hold hands, and argue about sex and a man Taylor's character stole from Reynolds's character decades ago? How about hearing Shirley MacLaine say, "My inner child is having such a tantrum" while wearing a turban and waving incense in front of her face? These Old Broads was co-written and co-produced by Carrie Fisher, as yet another hate letter to her mother. Apparently, she didn't get it all out of her system in Postcards From the Edge. In this one, her mother plays one of the title characters. Fisher had problems, problems she desperately wanted the world to know about via projecting her hatred for her mother up on the big screen. Why else would she create a movie about four old hags, all playing caricatures of their real-life personas, who hate each other and quip extremely stupid one-liners about their age, appearance, and sex lives? The only reason anyone would sit through this terrible, terrible movie would be if they were 100% on Debbie Reynolds's side during the Eddie Fisher scandal and still want revenge on Elizabeth Taylor, and if they get a thrill from making fun of older actresses. Basically, Carrie Fisher. Anyone one else will most likely, and wisely, turn it off.

When you have stars of this caliber, who needs a real plot? They do terrific send ups of themselves and the result is a funny, funny film. The fact that Reynolds and Taylor got together on screen makes the experience even more memorable.Don't go in expecting Shakespeare ... but sit back and enjoy the inside jokes and the incredible talent of four of the living legends of Hollywood.And whatever you do, ignore the snide comments of the adolescent male critics who panned this as a "geriatric" outing. These guys can't stand the idea of having older women who aren't ashamed of their bodies -- they'd prefer them all to go hide away so the young nubile and witless wonders can fill the screen.

This is definitely the best made-for-TV movie that I have ever seen! Four of Hollywood's greatest stars, Shirley MacLaine, Debbie Reynolds, Joan Collins, and Elizabeth Taylor team up for this absolutely hilarious comedy. MacLaine, Reynolds, and Collins play three former movie stars who appeared together in a '60's musical entitled "Boy Crazy", and team up once again for a reunion special. They're all terrific, but it's Elizabeth Taylor's delightful performance as an eccentric Hollywood agent that is sure to stay with you long after the movie is over.I hope they make a sequel! It would be such a great joy to see these four equally gifted ladies together again.

The world is a terrible place when they cannot find decent roles for the talents of Shirley MacLaine and Debbie Reynolds. This movie was not worthy! Is Carrie holding a grudge against her mother? There were some good liners in this thing, but on the whole it must have been humiliating for these actresses to make. Joan Collins fit right in! She was a 'B' movie actress in the first place and she always overacted on Dallas. I loved her in that show.I must say she really keeps herself in good shape. The producers and directors and writers of this show owe these ladies another movie so they can redeem themselves!
