Leave your thoughts about Wild Oats.
| Family Home TheaterJames PlathThe MacLaine-Lange pairing is good but not great, though I'd be hard-pressed to tell you exactly why. Maybe it's because you don't feel any depth to their friendship, and they're supposed to be best friends. |
| The Straits Times (Singapore)John LuiA well-intentioned comedy starring good, extremely likeable veteran actors, all of whom deserve a much sharper screenplay. |
| SSG SyndicateSusan GrangerThese veteran actresses deserve better material than this predictable, cliche-riddled script. |
| Common Sense MediaBarbara ShulgasserSenior-citizen adventure-comedy is unlikely to engage teens. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe laughs in this insomnia cure come in the first act, almost all of them at the funeral. Once the machinations of a tedious, trite and formulaic script take hold, the novelty of hearing lionized actresses curse (demurely) wears off, so do the charms of Wild Oats. |

| User ReviewSharon MThe beginning of film is hilarious. The plot is a bit cliche,but if you go with it,there is amazing chemistry between McClaine and Lange. A fun watch and seeing these veteran actresses tigether more than makes up for the wacky plot but even that is fun too... see it for a fun time!! |
