What a surprise!! We expected a fluffy comedy and we got so much more. Superb acting . . . not really news with this wonderful cast . . . and some heavy "stuff" mixed in with the humor.
Sure the story line was a bit stretched but we enjoyed every moment. Laughed hard and also shed a tear or two. Judi Dench is incredible, but she has to be to stay ahead of these other performers. Highly recommended.
Pros well paced, great actors, delightful mix of humor with drama
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It's a documentary . . . it's a comedy . . . it's a real life, fast-paced drama . . it's all that at once and it's very good!!!
We think that it helps if you "grew up" with Ms. Rivers and have a bit of her history in mind. But the bottom line is that we laughed and cared and learned a good deal about a comedic legend --- even if she rejects that designation. And, at 75, she still ROCKS!!!
