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

If you’re using “fabulous” to mean fable-like, then The Fabulous Four is in fact fabulous—in that we’ve seen it in too many other stories before.

This is a movie that should have probably leaned far less on wild hijinks with diminishing returns and more into the smaller moments of what it means to be friends for 40 years. But it’s not without its charms, either.

This fearsome foursome may be appealing, but the film is beyond formulaic, and far from fabulous.

Despite the caliber of its cast, “The Fabulous Four” never shakes the feeling that its on-screen talent is being severely misused.

Our stars may be timeless, but you should’ve seen them when they commanded more control of their projects than this and could demand the rewrites this tepid typewritten treacle needed.

The latest example of the humiliations lovely seniors desperately seeking employment are forced to endure in order to call themselves working actors is a dismal comedy without a shred of wit, imagination or originality called The Fabulous Four.

Here's yet another tepid comedy featuring a quartet of older women on an adventure. This time one of them is getting married, so the others 3 travel to Key West for the fun (actually shot in Georgia). Bette Midler is more manic than comic as the TicTok-obsessed bride, Megan Mullally provides the few genuine laffs as the horny singer, Sherly Lee Randolph plays it big as the cannabis-growing grandma, while Susan Sarandon, as a heart surgeon, gets to provide the dramatic struggle. Like the rest of this genre, there's little genuine humor, but lots of effort to find the funny. It moves along at a snappy pace, which keeps the triteness from getting tedious. Overall, it's energetic with the cast providing the only real appeal. NOTE: Look for Sophie von Haselberg, Midler's daughter, in the opening scene as her daughter.

Unbelievable. Nobody would ever marry Bette Midler. Not even in fictitious wedding. Barf. Such a shame to see Susan Sarandon and Magen Mullaly reduced to one of these grammy comedies.
