I'll SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS-A Golden Girls Cast Makes a Must See Movie
The thoroughly entertaining movie I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS is a contemplative look at seniors living into their golden years. Blythe Danner plays Carol, a widow of 20 years, with no intention of moving from her home to a senior retirement community where all her friends have relocated. Carol has a group of gal pals that outshine the Golden Girls; they're vivacious, warm, funny and supportive. Anyone would adore friends like these and they're any directors' dream team of actors. The cast includes Mary Kay Place, June Squibb and Rhea Pearlman at her most irresistible. There's a hilarious scene where the women get high & have an escapade worthy mischievious teenagers. Carol finds the idea of dating daunting but the reality of being alone more haunting. She finds a dreamy romance with the sexy Sam Sheperd. This is a movie that embraces life; a carpi diem motif that resounds with heart & humor. Blythe Danner is pitch perfect as an older woman looking back on her life & looking forward to what life may have in store. This is the movie to see and cherish.
