Movie Review

I saw a good movie today called "Poms" about an elderly (70ish) group of ladies who form a cheer leading squad.  It was really well done with lots of laughs and some serious underlying thought.  It took place in a Georgia retirement community.  I have a friend who lives with her husband in The Villages in Florida and, while I have never been there, I envision it as being very simiar to what was portrayed in the movie.  It's supposedly based on a true story.  I hope so.  I particularly enjoyed the chase scene involving a golf cart and a senior citizen van.  One of my favorite parts, after I thought about it a while, was an ad one of the ladies sees on TV for a very different kind of funeral.  It presented the idea of having your body cremated, then the ashes would be packed into a fire cracker which would be shot into the air to explode in a shower of sparkling color.  At first I thought "How silly." but the more I considered it the better I like the idea.  I'm not ready to revise my own funeral directives yet but it is something ti think about.
