Finally, a Movie About a Basketball Team of Menopausal Women

Has the mobile mammogram bus in your town ever lost funding and you wondered what to do about it? And you’re middle-aged and so you thought the best course of action would be to have a fundraiser in the form of charity basketball game where you played some girls high school basketball stars? And, just for kicks, you thought you’d name your team The Hot Flashes as an homage to the “change” you were in the throes of? Well congratulations, because someone stole your life’s story and made it a movie starring Brooke Shields.

The Hot Flashes (not to be confused with this “fun band to keep your party special”) looks like it’s been in the works for a number of years, but will finally be in select cities starting July 12. Expect the aforementioned Shields (married to Eric Roberts in this one), Daryl Hannah, Virginia Madsen, Camryn Manheim and Wanda Sykes plus a cameo from Robin Roberts, PLUS some puns about balls.
