Reviews
These Old Broads received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. The film holds an IMDb rating of 5.8/10, reflecting a lukewarm reception. Critics generally praised the strong performances by the iconic cast of Shirley MacLaine, Debbie Reynolds, Joan Collins, and Elizabeth Taylor, noting their charisma and on-screen chemistry as highlights. However, some reviews pointed out that the script was somewhat clichéd and relied heavily on stereotypes of aging actresses in Hollywood. Rotten Tomatoes does not provide a critic score for this made-for-TV movie, but user reviews indicate an appreciation for the nostalgic value and the ensemble's dynamic despite its predictable storyline. Metacritic also lacks a formal rating, but individual critics noted the film's lighthearted nature, calling it "a campy, star-studded romp with plenty of witty banter but little depth." Overall, while not a critical darling, These Old Broads is enjoyed as a nostalgic, entertaining tribute to classic Hollywood stars, particularly for viewers who appreciate the unique sparkle brought by its stellar cast.
