Retired burlesque queen Beatrice Shelton desperately needs a vacation. A Sassy Seniors Cruise through the Caribbean may be just the ticket if she can just convince her best friend, Eaddy Mae, to stop praying and go with her. Unfortunately, things have not been very pleasant at Magnolia Place Assisted Living since nurse Pat Jones began working there. The newest resident, Imogene Fletcher, is suddenly losing her memory. Maude Jenkins is obsessed with her favorite soap opera and planning her own funeral. Sam Smith, retired Elvis impersonator, keeps trying to bed every womn in the building. A mystery unfolds with laughter as the gals try to outsmart the evil nurse and figure out why so many residents have been moved to "the dark side," hilarity ensues as Imogene goes undercover and Maude enters the Miss Magnolia Senior Citizen Pageant. If they can solve the mystery, they may make it to the cruise ship after all.
This is a riotous comedy but it does have some mild manguage and adult humor.
