Not as bad as some would say, but lacking something.

The movie is very woke, something I'm not sure the target (older) audience will appreciate.

Three elderly ladies drink an elixir that makes them young again and soon discover that youth isn&apos;t all it&apos;s cracked up to be.

Arthur&apos;s Whisky

Arthur died and the ladies found his whisky!

First off, the title used the word &quot;whisky&quot;, which implies Scotland. However it was filmed in smaller communities just outside London. (Whiteley Village, Hersham, Walton-on-Thames, UK)

The story focuses on three old friends, now all in their 70s, experiencing all the things people that age normally do. One of the ladies is married to Arthur and when he dies the friends decide to venture into his small shack out back. Among the things they find, a few small bottles of his homemade whisky. Bravely, they decide to try it.

Magically, each of them wakes up to find that they are 20-ish versions of themselves. After suitable emotions of panic, they realize it must have been the whisky. But they also find out its effect is finite, after about 6 hours they revert to their 70-something selves.

(As a science nerd, I found myself wishing one of them would experiment, starting with very small doses, to see how much they really had to consume. Sadly, they did not do that.)

Anyway, after watching the trailer I expected very little from this movie. It is quite silly in places but overall I enjoyed it quite a bit. Including their foray to visit a bucket list location, Las Vegas. I was entertained, maybe because I too am in my 70s.

If you want a &quot;message&quot; it is to accept and appreciate yourself, just the way you are.

It was also a bonus to see a couple of old singers in the cast. Lulu, of course, was a popular singer in the 1960s, known especially for &quot;To Sir With Love.&quot; And we also are able to see Boy George, now in his 60s.

At home, streaming on Prime. A bit better than its rating would suggest.
