Thelma - 2024 - 7/10
Thelma, 93, gets phoned scammed out of $10K.
Family wonders if it’s time she was, you know, placed in a retirement home.
Meantime, Thelma wants her money back!
Crime / comedy is tagged as action, but I’m telling you, ain’t much action with scooters and walkers.
Laugh out loud funny, or terrifying, depending on your outlook toward old age. Not 60, but 90.
Over-coddled family is emblematic of unspoken messages, perhaps.
Great cast, if a little gimpy, including Richard Roundtree (final role) who shows a flair for droll comedy.
Young audience, cannot relate? Fear not, given enough time you turn into your grandparents.
