Mack & Rita (2022)
6/10
Lite Hearted Comedy
14 August 2022
A successful but somewhat confused 30 Year Old Writer MACK (Elizabeth Lail) is in a Rut. Got Writers Block and the Dear Colorful Grandmother that raised her is Gone. A Bit of a Loner anyway she needs boost of confidence for Book Number 2. Same Week Her Best Friend is Having Bachelorette Fling in Palm Springs. Here though Loyal to her friends she still feels left out and decides to See a Zen Regression Guru LUCA (Simon Rex) who magically transforms Her into RITA (Diane Keaton) the 70 Year Old she thinks is trapped in her 30 year old body ? A Body Switch like in BIG. The script is pretty crazy from here especially Social Media wise. Both the Young and Old fall for next door neighbor Dog Watcher JACK (Dustin Milligan) one of few male characters in Movie. Mack & Rita each have 3 support friends Mack from Birth but Rita finds her 3 at a Wine Club Lunch hosted by CARLA's Mom. CARLA (Taylour Paige) is the one getting married and she is convinced MACK has become RITA .

So in Summary a Bunch of Actresses of various AGE and A Handsome Dude Drink Wine and Eat Jumbo Shrimp leading to a Wedding and SWEET Ending ! Worked for me especially impressed with MACK (Lail) , nice job on dialogue. Ensemble Cast. Costume Department Thumbs Up. Flashy Outfits !

Diane Keaton Producer and was likely on Set for Ending Scenes. Maybe doing a little Coaching ?

The Director (Katie Aselton) is also an Actress.
