Little Old Ladies & their secret lives
rajasthanb18 February 2006
A fun documentary on an old game, played by lots and lots of little old ladies. Not too heavy, but an enjoyable movie about Chinese Grandmas and Jewish Grandmas, and a game they play to socialize.

It's a gentler form of poker night, but the food is better, and there are no cigars.

The filmmakers bring a light touch to a touching subject; the connections between women and their development through a game.

If you have ever heard the crack of the tiles, check this out.

If you haven't, check it out, and learn about a whole new world.

Meanwhile. let's hope Pearlman is making a documentary on how to play, since that's what I'd like to see now.
