CGiii Comment
A good cast...unstretched!
A certain demographic will lap this up...it's [probably] politically incorrect to actually name that demographic...due to this being a film stuffed full of political correctness and riddled with hackneyed clichées...about the 'haves' and 'have-nots' - yip, it's that money-doesn't-make-you-happy kind-of-thing...with a few english eccentrics thrown in to keep it bubbly.
The dust may be settling on these elderly ladies...but, they sure know how to have a bawdy old time of it...well, not quite...that's the problem with the film, it never takes off! Bif [Celia Imrie] mentions - fleetingly - that she has indulged in the - don't-knock-it-until-you've-tried-it - pleasures of female flesh...and that's it! Really, there was no point in it even being mentioned...hey, but it ticked a box!
Finding Your Feet is a well-trodden carpet...fondly appreciated by a certain demographic.
