Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 5044723, member: 974"] [B]Thelma (2024) [/B]Themla is in her 90s and falls for a phone scam. Her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson are well meaning but clueless people. They think she should just forget about it. Nope. Themla wants her $10,000 dollars back. She goes to visit one of her last living friends, played perfectly by Richard Roundtree, who once played "Shaft" to steal his scooter and find the crooks. It is a funny, nice, sad film. Very well done. Wouldn't be surprised if Roundtree gets an Oscar nomination considering this was his last film and the performance is worthy. The movie nevers gets overly dramatic or preachy or too silly, it does a great job threading the needle between all three. My wife dragged me to it. I enjoyed it. It is currently in theaters. Two bordering on three stars. [/QUOTE]
