"A dynamite ensemble cast and a truckload of heart keep the sentimental new comedy POMS from crumbling beneath multiple well-thumbed clichés including (but not limited to) plucky underdogs can triumph, friends are really important and life is short so live it fully. " ... Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Chandler Levack | May 8, 2019
"It makes no sense that this fun, feel-good movie about senior citizen cheerleaders should waste so much precious screen time on miserly Keaton hacking up her Metamucil or whatever. If you’re going to make a movie about elderly cheerleaders, bring some brio and physicality to it." ... Read full review

Screen Daily
Sarah Ward | May 9, 2019
"The feature’s heart is in the right place, especially in advocating that age shouldn’t be a barrier. But Poms is a by-the-numbers feature which couples its empowering message with routine gags and muddled conflict." ... Read full review

This movie is great. It's weird and funny and Diane Keaton is amazing in it and there's not another movie like it at all, just not even close.This movie is great. It's weird and funny and Diane Keaton is amazing in it and there's not another movie like it at all, just not even close. Some of these reviews say it's cliche but they're getting distracted by the few normal things about it that are there to help the medicine go down, it's just a great, weird, subtle movie. If you want to see a fun movie that's not like other movies, this is it.… Expand

1)Well...I like old people, especially old actresses. In this movie they get good parts, and I have to forgive the movie. 2) I haven’t seen Veronica Cartwright in ages, and she’s still so wonderful! Also, I like Diane Keaton better as a crank than a ditz.
3) I think it had 2 or 3 honestly funny bits, and it had a good heart. Bad-
1)Was there a cliche of the old people comedy that they skipped? I don’t think so. Was it a story built from an algorithm? For sure.

2) Rhea Perlman? Wasted. Pam Grier? Wasted.… Expand

There have been numerous documentaries and narrative films about seniors doing something unexpected or untraditional for their age. This time,There have been numerous documentaries and narrative films about seniors doing something unexpected or untraditional for their age. This time, Diane Keaton moves from NYC to a retirement community in Georgia, where she disrupts things by forming a cheerleading group (including Jacki Weaver, Pam Grier & Rhea Perlman). The concept is certainly not inspiring or original. What makes it even more dreary is that none of the characters are especially endearing or sufficiently quirky to make it fun. Top that off with bland writing. There may be some appeal to women above 50, who might relate to the situations and appreciate the empowerment message. Otherwise, it’s a painfully predictable, lackluster endeavor.… Expand
