What starts out as a good idea,three 50 something women brought back together following the death of a friend, who as a parting gift leave them 4 tickets for them to take her 18yr old daughter on a cross european train journey to fulfill her dying wish. For a premise that had so much potential, the movie felt flat, slow moving, dull and at the dialogue was painful and corney, rather than funny. The actors were quite good, but werent given a good enough script to work with. Each of the main characters backstories and their individual "issues" werent well explored and it was hard to believe them as friends. There was very little emotional payoff at the end, except relief that it was over.

Basic and predictable
Good idea, for a film with a reasonable cast bbut just woefully scripted and totally predictable at every turn.

Okay, so it is a sweet film with a mixed up plot and loud BLONDIE music. Good to see Kelly Preston before she left this world.
Why BLONDIE music? And why so loud?
