Following the death of her inventor husband a woman and septuagenarian woman her two friends discover the elixir of life in his shed.
Why he didn't previously share this revelation with his wife usneither questioned nor explained but several bottles of the stuff are found.
The women set out to rediscover the pleasures of youth but unsurprisingly it doesn't work it to be as simple as that and they discover that friendship and being true to yourself are more important.
Doesn't sound terrible does it ?
Sadly the execution is a hot mess.
After the initial adventures going out as young women the story breaks up into increasingly unconnected vignettes and the tone veers from charming, through inappropriate to downright creepy.
The story becomes increasingly episodic with a sudden trip to Vegas , cameo from Boy George and then the death of Diane Keaton's character.
A young Lulu develops a relationship with a middle aged man who doesn't blink an eye when he finds out she's really in her 70s.
The penultimate scene sees the main character track down her lesbian fling from before she got married, but rather than sharing the last of the elixir with her she takes it herself and they have a moment.
In the final scene the two surviving friends sky dive and spread the ashes.
Its a mess of mixed messages, awkward relationships, narrative discontinuities and awkward attempts to be right on.
