Who rules?
Lithgow and Rush battle it out for assisted living supremacy and it’s so much fun. Lithgow doing high knees with a creepy ass hand puppet, tormenting the residents until they pledge fealty to said puppet (Jenny Pen), and then forcing them to “lick her asshole”—was not exactly what I was expecting for this flick, but I kind of loved it. And it’s one of those specifically weird things that I feel like has to be based on a true story, like an incident that actually happened to the screenwriter while visiting someone at a nursing home. Just the vibe I get. Fun flick.
