Following the death of her inventor husband a woman and septuagenarian woman her two friends discover the elixir of life in his shed. Why he didn't previously share this revelation with his wife usneither questioned nor explained but several bottles of the stuff are found. The women set out to rediscover the pleasures of youth but unsurprisingly it doesn't work it to be as simple as that and they discover that friendship and being true to yourself are more important. Doesn't sound terrible does it ? Sadly the execution is a hot mess. After the initial adventures going out as young women the story breaks up into increasingly unconnected vignettes and the tone veers from charming, through inappropriate to downright creepy. The story becomes increasingly episodic with a sudden trip to Vegas , cameo from Boy George and then the death of Diane Keaton's character. A young Lulu develops a relationship with a middle aged man who doesn't blink an eye when he finds out she's really in her 70s. The penultimate scene sees the main character track down her lesbian fling from before she got married, but rather than sharing the last of the elixir with her she takes it herself and they have a moment. In the final scene the two surviving friends sky dive and spread the ashes. Its a mess of mixed messages, awkward relationships, narrative discontinuities and awkward attempts to be right on. Avoid .

As a Scot from Glasgow, watching Lulu, a Scot from Glasgow, trying to put on a Scottish accent and refer to Glasgow as Glasga was like a punch in the stomach. The premise seemed funny but the film really didn't hit the mark. The younger casting really was off too. Patricia Hodge and Diane Keaton are great actresses. Their younger counterparts not so much. Lulu hasn't done a lot of acting, and it shows, again the accent was really painful. The script was pretty dire, which is a shame because in the right hands this could have been quite a good little comedy film, however it was just a bit embarrassing.

Super dumb, yet it somehow kinda worked for me. 'Arthur's Whisky' is a very low budget picture, I mean just look at that unintentionally hilarious attempt at portraying a visit to Las Vegas (!!). The plot is very silly and, obviously, nonsensical but in the end I kinda dug it, to be honest. The film does plateau at around the hour mark, though the heartfelt conclusion brought it back to win me over. I guessed the general vibe (slow paced story of oldies being oldies) of this movie based on the poster and I was mostly correct, though the opening minutes of this made it look like a proper adventure/fantasy was on the way - it evidently wasn't, so quite the jarring beginning! Diane Keaton, Patricia Hodge and Lulu lead onscreen events and the trio do well enough, as a three they worked better than they did individually. What actually probably helped this for me was the three that played their youngers. Genevieve Gaunt, Esme Lonsdale and Hannah Howland are good. Adil Ray's whole subplot with Lulu/Howland is very cringe, mind you. Looking around, this has not been received all that positively - though a deeper look around does suggest a more even split of opinion, it does work for some. Just look at that expired tomato website - 80%/14% for critics/audience! Fascinating, really.

I don't often switch off a film half way through, but I did with this one. Started OK but went downhill very quickly. The editing seemed jumpy and disjointed, the younger actors didn't look or sound enough like their older counterparts. And it was all over the place. Then out of nowhere up pops a historical gay subplot. There was no need for that and it seemed like a shoe in. So random. Oh and yes, there was a creepy relationship between and middle aged food van guy and a younger character develop too. Like I said it was too jumpy and disjointed. And these stories are examples of this. It felt like they'd not filmed enough and had to cut together 4 or 5 random stories to scrape a film together. Even the actors looked bemused and bored. Great idea, some great actors, but it was executed poorly, I'm amazed it got last quality control. Ah well - not the end of the world, go find a better film 😬

Arthur's Whisky is what it says on the tin - so to speak - a lovely film with recognisable names and while there is an undercurrent of acknowledgement about age and the aging process - the idea as far I am concerned was to kick off the shoes, pour a glass of wine, sit back and watch an enjoyable film. Interesting that the film critic reviews were all about the same - with the operative word being enjoyable. And it was great to see three really talented ladies working so well together. The cast and what a wonderful cast, especially the three leads - Diane Keaton, Patricia Hodge and Lulu - all looked as if they were having a good time - and this is down to the direction.

Three friends enjoy a tipple of whisky after a funeral, what they quickly realise, is that the whisky has special powers, the ability to turn back the years....for a short few hours, the girls must use their limited stash wisely. I get the criticisms about this film, and I'll start with the gripes, and there are several, it is so syrupy, it's enough to give you diabetes, and of course it ticks every single box under the sun, imagine Disney renaming Death becomes her, but removing the magic. The efforts to create Las Vegas were a little cringe worthy, even Murder, she wrote fans would raise an eyebrow. However, it's hard not to enjoy the wonderful cast, Diane Keaton, Lulu and the magical Patricia Hodge, the talents of the trio manage to make it watchable for me. A real waste of Bill Patterson, Hayley Mills and Joanna David, none of them had enough to do. It could have been so much better, as it stands it not bad, it's sweet, it's well meaning, if only it had focused more on the actual story telling. I'll give it a very generous 6/10.

So this has to be one of the worst movies ever made , the actors are barely in it , they obviously agreed to some quick easy bucks , their younger counterparts are absolutely nothing like them ... don't even sound like them either . Acting is so over the top and the scenes are just cobbled together . Worst of all Diane Keaton is by far the most over the top annoying actress in Hollywood and this role is no exception, apart from being woody Allen's most ardent fan ( enough a reason alone to cancel her ) she adds a annoying cheesy ness I've always found like nails on a chalk board ... this film sucks and it's a shame cause the idea is kinda cool.

There is an age beyond which one makes oneselves look kinda pitiful and one becomes sort of a laughing stock when one wants to look young when one is over 70 years old! But that doesnt stop Hollywood! This is yet another cringefest movie with seniors who want to LOOK young again, but only end up looking laughable (in a bad way, not the comical way). I adore actress Diane Keaton, she has made so many great movies, and she still does act well, but why oh why doesnt she simple retire gracefully so we as fans dont have to cringe when making the mistake of trying to watch this cheaply made product. Not any good then? It's not mindnumbingly terrible for sure. It'll perhaps do as wallpaper when one is doing the dishes and this is running in the background. You wont get offended by it, but you will most likely fall asleep when (trying) to watch it...
