Trivia

Patricia French appears with Diane Keaton, Pam Grier, Rhea Perlman, Phyllis Somerville and Jacki Weaver on the DVD box cover, but her name does not. However Celia Weston's name appears but she doesn't. See more »

Goofs

When Martha is stuck behind a golf cart upon her arrival, the camera cuts to a shot of her in her car from the side - but in this shot she's moving much faster and the background is totally different. It looks like the filmmakers simply inserted a shot from her on the freeway by a mountainside from earlier in the film. See more »

Quotes

Vicki: Now what brings you to Sun Springs?
Martha: Oh I'm just here to die.

Poms Wonderful

The first trailer I saw months ago barely hinted at a cheerleading theme, it was more about the retirement community. "Have the time of life for the rest of your life". Now it's more about the cheerleading than I thought it would be but I really enjoyed it. I'm an amputee in a wheelchair and my 76 year old mother (who is extremely active) went to see it today. We both had a great time. There should be movies that aren't violence, explosions, and superheroes.
