Thelma

June Squibb, at 92, does all her own stunts, just like Tom Cruise in all his "Mission Impossible" movies. Squibb stars as Thelma, a grandmother who is living alone. She is doted upon by her grandson Daniel (Fred Hechinger). Daniel, who is always making sure Thelma is wearing her alert bracelet and helping her with her phone and computer. Thelma falls victim to a telephone scam and she mails off ten thousand dollars thinking she is helping her beloved Daniel. When the ruse comes to light and she realizes the police can do nothing, Thelma takes matters into her own hands; she is going to get her money back. Thus begins this action adventure comedy. Thelma employs the help of Ben (Richard Roundtree) and together they ride out of Ben's assisted living facility on his double red mobility scooter. Thelma is sweet in that Pixar "Up" kind of way. It's also very funny. I don't think I've been as amused at a film like this in quite some time. I loved it.  Clark Gregg, Parker Posey, and Malcolm McDowell all have supporting roles. Catch "Thelma" now out in theatres.
