These Old Broads (2001)
I have heard about this television movie for a while but have only just seen it. The appeal is the teaming of Debbie Reynolds, Shirley Maclaine, and Joan Collins as three (obviously) aging divas who are being brought together for a reunion show, and as is usually the case in this sort of thing, they start off hating each other. It's no surprise that they love each other by the end. The real surprise is how game and feisty the three actresses are -- they are not afraid to take pot-shots at their own images -- and when they sing and dance, they are still pros. Elizabeth Taylor has a cameo part as their agent and plays it right over the top, adding little, other than her presence, to the movie.
