While her house undergoes repairs, fiercely independent senior Helen (Academy Award® winner Ellen Burstyn) moves into a nearby retirement community ― just temporarily. Once behind the doors of Pine Grove Senior Community, she encounters lusty widows, cutthroat bridge tournaments and a hotbed of bullying “mean girls” the likes of which she hasn’t encountered since high school, all of which leaves her yearning for the solitude of home. But somewhere between
flower arranging and water aerobics Helen discovers that it’s never too late to make new friends and perhaps even find a new love.
A heartwarming and humorous look at life’s second act, QUEEN BEES is inspired by the true story of producer Harrison Powell’s own grandmother’s second chance at love after moving into a retirement community as a widow. The film stars James Caan, Ann-Margret, Jane Curtin, Christopher Lloyd and Loretta Devine.
