Blu-ray Review - The Fabulous Four
February 08, 2025
Didn't we just do this? Earlier this year, there was "Summer Camp," which detailed the experiences of four older woman working on relationships while dealing with a vacation getaway. And now there's "The Fabulous Four," which follows four older women working on relationships while dealing with a vacation getaway. There's some serious déjà vu going on here, but this can all be traced back to the unexpected success of 2018's "Book Club," which found an audience for its sustained mildness and use of seasoned thespians. "The Fabulous Four" looks to drink from the same fountain, offering its target audience more silly shenanigans with capable actresses, but the screenplay (by Jenna Milly and Ann Marie Allison) is relentlessly awful. Hope for sharp humor is lost in the opening moments of the picture, and elements of heart are simply DOA. What's left is a dispiriting collection of sitcom moments that's increasingly dire to watch.
