Move over, Diane Keaton. June Squibb’s in town and she’s got a better take on retirement life than you, Jane Fonda AND Lily Tomlin.
In her charming “grandma gets scammed” comedy, “Thelma,” Squibb plays a 93-year-old who sends $10,000 in cash to con artists because she’s convinced her grandson was in an accident.
When relatives point out the error of her ways, Thelma decides to right the wrong. She chooses to “follow the money” and track down those who did her in. With the help of a friend in a retirement community, she drives a motorized scooter to the location and, well, anything’s possible.
