- TriviaDame Elizabeth Taylor remained seated for most of her performance and was wheeled onto the set in a chair. "I can't walk a long distance, so everybody sees me in a wheelchair and thinks I'm sick", she told TV Guide. "If you had broken your back three times, you couldn't stand very long (either)."

And I will say that "These Old Broads", from director Matthew Diamond, was actually a rather enjoyable movie. Its storyline was pretty straight forward and somewhat on the upbeat side. So yeah, "These Old Broads" was a rather uplifting and positive movie that will put you in a good mood.
It should be said that the cast ensemble in "These Old Broads" was amazing. The fact that they had these impressive talents from yester year together was just downright impressive. I mean, with the likes of Shirley MacLaine, Debbie Reynolds, Joan Collins and Elizabeth Taylor then you really have an ensemble of the greatest of movie divas ever to grace the screen. And the movie also had the likes of Jonathan Silverman, Nestor Carbonell, Peter Graves and Pat Crawford Brown on the cast list. So there is a lot of talents here. And it was fun to see Carrie Fisher show up, even if just for a mere ten seconds or so.
I was genuinely entertained by "These Old Broads" and I found it to be a nice surprise of a movie. If you haven't already seen "These Old Broads", then you certainly should do so if you get the chance.
My rating of "These Old Broads" lands on a six out of ten stars.
