The Hot Flashes

Plot Summary: From IMDb: “An unlikely basketball team of unappreciated middle-aged Texas women, all former high school champs, challenge the current arrogant high school girls’ state champs to a series of games to raise money for breast cancer prevention. Sparks fly as these marginalized women go to comic extremes to prove themselves on and off the court, and become a national media sensation.”
Release Date: July 12, 2013

Rating: D
Commentary: Sadly, it’s one of those designs you just want to gouge your eyes out after looking at it. And I’m not talking about the women on the cover, but the lame way in which they are displayed, the garish pink title and the blank background. There are plenty of euphemisms that could have been better employed here. 		Rating: D+
Commentary: As bad as the poster is, the trailer is only slightly better. These are talented actors in their own rights, Virginia Madsen and Eric Roberts are Oscar nominees. Camryn Manheim and Wanda Sykes are Emmy winners. Only Daryl Hannah and Brooke Shields haven’t won prizes, but Shields has a Golden Globe nomination and Hannah, in spite of her talent, has made some stinky career choices. Those facts aside, whomever painted all of these antiquated stereotypes into an inspid comedy should be punished.

Oscar Chances: None.
