Susan Sarandon, Bette Midler, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Megan Mullally star in an overly familiar plot about a longtime gal gang taking an awkward trip together.
In “The Fabulous Four,” a quartet of female friends in their golden years — played by a powerhouse group of beloved and lauded actors — head out on a vacation, where their longtime relationships and ingrained patterns will be challenged, resulting in cathartic personal growth. Wait a minute, didn’t I review this film two months ago? A year ago? Twice? It was while reviewing “Summer Camp” back in May that I questioned the robust proliferation of these oh-so-familiar films .
Sarandon beautifully sells Lou’s hurt with a palpable sorrow , but every time the film settles into this core conflict, it scuttles away to something silly, like Lou using a personal pleasure device as a slingshot on the street, or a series of profoundly irritating social media-style interstitials. There’s also this group of younger, drunken revelers who latch onto the women during the plane ride.
