- QUICK TAKE:
- Drama: A self-absorbed author invites her nephew and her two college friends from long ago on a cruise to determine how those women feel about her.
- PLOT:
Alice (MERYL STREEP) is an accomplished author whose newly promoted agent, Karen (GEMMA CHAN), has been tasked with finding out when her latest manuscript might be ready. Considering that the author is set to receive a literary award in London but doesn't fly, Karen arranges for Alice to sail aboard the Queen Mary 2 from New York. The author's only request is that she be allowed to bring along her young adult nephew, Tyler (LUCAS HEDGES), as well as her college friends from long ago -- Susan (DIANNE WIEST) and Roberta (CANDICE BERGEN) -- who she hasn't seen in decades.
While looking down on prolific mystery writer Kelvin Kranz (DAN ALGRANT) -- who's also traveling on the ship -- Alice wants Tyler to determine the states of mind of her friends from long ago. As he does that and starts to fall for Karen who he meets for the first time, Roberta searches for a man with money all while blaming her failed marriage and life after that on the belief that Alice based one of her past works on her and her life.
- WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
- They might if they're fans of someone in the cast (although only two of the main ones are younger performers).
- WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R
- For language.
