I have a personal motto which I say all the time, and live by: “Life’s too short…” followed by whatever phrase I deem appropriate. Examples include, “Life’s too short to drink shitty wine”; “Life’s too short to eat shitty food”; “Life’s too short to worry about what other people think”; and a plethora of others. Honestly, life IS too short to have regrets.
That’s the essence of this dialogue as the actor journeys through the golden years of life. Susan Freedman delivers her message easily and smoothly—and it’s a message we all should heed. While the message is wise, the show itself is rather limited in humour. There’s no real plot development, twist, then denouement. Essentially, it’s a series of personal stories with a wrapper that life’s short, don’t waste it—like the kind of advice you’d tell your grandkids before they go to bed.
