So, you might think this is a comedy. Septuagenarian cheerleaders. Funny. Right?
Wrong.
That doesn't mean Diane Keaton isn't sparkling as Martha, a gal who moves to a retirement community and can't find a club to join until she starts one of her own. With pom-poms. The problem is she's come there to die. (No spoiler alert necessary since moviegoers learn this right from the get-go.)
Maybe the dying of cancer plot could be handled with humor. (Doubtful.) Still, advertising this as laugh at the multiplex is a stretch. It's like asking audiences to forget that Godzilla is a huge, hairy monster wreaking havoc on Tokyo
