O'Malley's affectionate comedy. For Carol Cavanaugh (Josie Davis), Maggie Goldman (Mayim Bialik), and Joan Branson (Joanna Clare Scott), life hasn't necessarily been as fruitful and as glamorous as they may have hoped in the idealistic days of their carefree youth. Though still relatively young and hopeful about the road that lies ahead, the prospect of having all of their unfulfilled dreams trumpeted before every member of their graduating class is much too humiliating to take lying down. Now, as the three lifelong friends attempt to recover the capsule before it can be read aloud, the spirits of their deceased grandmothers appear to offer solace and consolation in an uncertain time of progress and transition. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
While the low-budget comedy is occasionally charming, it mostly fails in clumsy attempts at evoking laughs and tears.
-
Pete Croatto, Filmcritic.com
The grannies from beyond the grave gimmick is all the movie has
-
James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
Whether they're munching donuts at Sweetwater's Donut Mill or quaffing Amber Ales at Bell's Eccentric Cafe, the actresses have an easy rapport and are entirely believable as old friends.
