The Time of Their Lives

"Goldby's film does ... prove that both Collinses should have been better used over the years, even as it slightly misuses them itself."

"Should be like a 'Shirley Valentine' sequel, but falls a little flat."

"The year's first entry in the so-bad-it's-good list is The Time of Their Lives, a dramedy starring Joan Collins that had me in fits of unstoppable giggles."

"The whole enterprise feels like a ten bob knock-off, or a would-be remake that couldn't nab the rights."

"There is a creeping and depressing awfulness to this sentimental silver-years comedy, whose silly and twee style of humour and cardboard characterisation jar with its strained moments of attempted poignancy."

"Writer-director Roger Goldby (Call the Midwife, Hustle) can't really escape his TV roots in this melodramatic farce."
