How About You 2007


     Kate Harris is running a rural residential home for elderly people.  Ellie, her sister gets a degree and she comes to work at the home.  Kate learns their mother is sick and she goes to stay with her.  That leaves Ellie in charge of Donald, Georgia and two sisters, Heather and Hazel.  The other residents have gone to be with their families for Christmas.  This group is called The Hard Core and they are impossible to live with.  They have discouraged new residents from coming to live here and the home faces closure.
     Donald calls early in the morning for his breakfast, Georgia demands martinis made a certain way and with olives, the two sisters are feuding and not speaking to each other.  Georgia disappears and is found singing in a local pub.  Ellie wants to run away to but she has to stay for her sister.  This is interesting and The Hard Core people are funny except for how they treat Kate.  They are determined to live to the hilt as long as they have left.  3* (This movie is OK)
