Bette Midler, Susan Sarandon, Megan Mullally and Sheryl Lee Ralph Star in The Fabulous Four First Look (Exclusive)

DL catnip extraordinaire. 🍿

Actually looks fun

Looks fun, but Sarandon is dead to me.

This is as close to a “Golden Girls” movie you’re getting, bitches.

Four pernicious cunts

Is Midler playing younger than her age? Do women still get married when they are 78?

And wear white?!

Yes.

Susan looks like she just walked in off the street and happened to sit in on the shoot.

Was I not available?

“Four Cunts and a Wedding.”

I guess Megan is the ingenue in this group.

Why isn’t Ryan directing?

R13 No nepo babies.

It's nice to see Sheryl Lee Ralph in a feature film.

R15 = Sheryl Lee Ralph

[quote]It's nice to see Sheryl Lee Ralph in a feature film.

She was offered a role in Dreamgirls and got uppity about it.

“Oh are you voting for Jill Stein this year?” “Just shhhhhh”

I won't watch anything with traitor hag Sarandon. Fuck her.

Four college friends? Maybe they’ll run into and rumble against the cast of “80 for Brady”.

I have nothing but sympathy for anyone working with Bette Midler.

More like "The Photoshopped Four".

R21 - Goldie Hawn

Completely miscast. There is no good chemistry between any of these leads. Megan is a one-trick pony and annoying as fuck. Sheryl is palatable but underwhelming. Bette is the peacock but her charm has faded. Susan is lazy now and just collects checks. This will be a complete flop.

How did Susan Sarandon get a job?

R25 quite big tits.

If casting films is like preparing ingredients for a meal, Sarandon is like adding ground glass. Hard pass.

I pass when I see Sarandon.

After 2016 I wished for Sarandon to die in a grease fire. But it seemed Karma had something even worse in store for her.

Bette and Susan - box office poison. Megan - TV star. Sheryl Lee - has she ever made a movie??

Apparently yes.

r30 = TV star-turned-box office poison Debra Messing

I assume this is an answer to 80 for Brady.

Looks fun, though. Somewhere Deb Messing is primal screaming into the void over the fact that Sue and Megan are in this together. LMAO

Holy fuck, Bette looks like Wayland Flowers' Madame. Overstuffed.

R34. Bitch stole my look

Those are all the good bits?

With Bette, Sheryl Lee & Megan - where’s the musical number?

Jokes could be punched up, by a lot. You can see that from space, watching the trailer. Still, should be fun.

Honey, what's this? What's going on?

Got a link, OP?

R40 did you miss the one at R33?

"The Fabulous Four aims past the formula trappings and, though its misses might be evident, it also hits the bull’s-eye."

Apparentluy its garbage. Small screen stuff.

Looks fun enough - these days I need some goofy, low-stress humor

Does Bette smoke in this?

New York Times

Slapdash but executed with gusto, “Fabulous Four” feels like it was made after guzzling three bottles of champagne — and honestly, that’s an apropos way to watch.

Bette on Today.

Hoda Kotb must have studied obsequious under Gayle King.

It’s such a pity to see once talented and beloved actresses reduced to taking roles in exportation films. These sagging hag films are truly a form of elder abuse.

I can’t believe this is a thing.

Variety

Megan Mullally was ageing well before she caved and bought that generic puffy cheek, small eyed face.

It'll come in 4th in its opening weekend at the box office...

Which one plays Reed Richards, and which one plays Sue Storm?

[quote]Megan Mullally was ageing...

Old enough to have done a Murder She Wrote.

I don't see any chemistry with them.

I love you, R55, lol

That dyed red hair is never a good look.

Came in 8th with a little over $1 million from about 1,000 screens

R60. Dear Lord...That's embarrassing.

Sissy put a curse on it.

Which one of them gets startled and screams? That is usually Diane Keaton's job.

R63. I see that as the Mullally role.

There was an article in USA Today last week about how this movie proves that women over 50 aren't invisible.

Bette you're 78!!!!!

Isn't The Golden Girls the inspiration for these old lady comedies? it seems to be the same assortment of character types

R66. Except Dorothy wasn't a TikTok "influencer" flashing her panties like in this disaster.

I love these kind of movies. Sure they are outrageous, but it is a chance to see lovely actors we loved 50 years ago unafraid to show their wrinkles and thickened waistline but ready for their next adventure, and having conserved their sense of humor. Our bodies may be ravaged by time but our mind and imagination are still 20.

R68. Inside this body, I still feel! I still love!

Imagine having to get up early to drag yourself to the studio and film this dreck all day. It's practically elder abuse.

This was my first time walking out of a movie 45 minutes in. But I could feel this boring, by the numbers, unfunny slog draining my will to live so I had to go.

Is this on Peacock yet?

Who knew our elderly could be such rascals?! It’s too bad we don’t have two reelers before our films the way we used to. I could see Midler and Sarandon as a comedy team like Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts only in their eighties.

R73. Don't forget about me!

r71 You didn't go at all

Helen was 73 and Millie was 68.

Bette Midler was typical Bette, making faces and shrill. Megan Mullally was a lower octave Karen from "Will and Grace" only with pot instead of booze and pills. Sheryl Lee Ralph was useless and seemed to be there only to check a diversity box. Susan Sarandon looked the entire time like she knew this movie was a mistake. The whole movie felt like a Liftetime tv movie...cheap looking, rushed, AI script, cheap jokes, terrible directing. There's not one moment where I felt like any of these characters were behaving in a realistic manner for women of their age and their place in life, completely unrealistic scenarios and actions.

I can't even begin to describe how awkward the whole Michael Bolton scene was. It seriously looked like a wax figure...he didn't move, just a blank stare into space and singing, no movement whatsoever and no interaction with anyone in the scene...extremely weird and uncomfortable.

We walked out of the cinema after 30 mins when the "stars" started to sing in harmony whilst flying through the air against which was so obviously a false backdrop.

I saw it, it was mild and harmless. But nice to see another group of female stars clowning around.

"Old ladies still get high and masturbate!"

R81. Did Bette and Sarandon scizzor each other?

R79 I had no interest until I read your description.
