Thelma (12A)

A funny and endearing pastiche to stunt-fuelled action cinema. Thelma Post is a senior grandmother who loses $10,000 to a con artist pretending to be her grandson on the phone. Actually aged 94, actress June Squibb gives an excellent performance as the tough Thelma, riding across town on a mobility scooter borrowed from her gentleman admirer, played by the late Richard Roundtree.

Tom Cruse himself is an indirect inspiration for the lead character - Squibb insisted on performing most of her own stunts!

Wholesome comedy at its best.
