THE HOT FLASHES is about an unlikely basketball team of unappreciated middle-aged Texas women, all former high school champs, who challenge the current arrogant high school girls' state champs to raise money for breast cancer prevention. Sparks fly as these marginalized women go to comic extremes to prove themselves on and off the court, become a national media sensation, and gain a new lease on life. (Verleiher-Text)

Brooke Shields, Daryl Hannah und Camryn Manheim sind großartige Schauspielerinnen, aber sie sind bereits 40+ und 50+. Was könnte man also mit ihnen anstellen? Das einzig Mögliche - eine unterhaltsame Komödie drehen, die einem die Stimmung hebt. Und genau das ist gelungen.

It is a fairly unremarkable film with an interesting cast, although it is true that none of the actors and actresses are exactly A-list. However, I enjoy watching Erica Roberts and it was quite pleasing to see Brooke Shields somewhere again after a long time. It is a classic TV movie, this time about five older women wanting to play basketball for a good cause - breast cancer. They are confronted by young girls, their own problems, and it ends more or less well. It is a nice afternoon movie, but then you move on and forget about it.
