She's able to convince Carla that she is really Mack, but they tell everyone else she is Mack’s fictional Aunt Rita, and that Mack is staying at Rita’s home while she works on her writing. She just wants to lie down.Īnd somehow, when she gets out of the tanning bed, Mack has turned into Diane Keaton. She does not care that it looks very sketchy-the mechanism for regression is a junked tanning bed, and it's run by Luca, played by Simon Rex. When the other women go off to a pop-up Bad Bunny show, Mack teeters over to a sign offering past lives regression. Carla smiles understandingly and loans Mack something more suitable, with silvery stiletto boots that she wobbles in. She loves the fabulous “old lady” clothes she finds in the closet and has not brought anything for herself that is suitable for the girls’ night out. Mack, Carla, and two other friends go off for a bachelorette weekend at the home of a friend of Carla’s mother and we see that Mack is not quite as good at passing for “normal” as she thinks. The various events around the wedding provide the foundation for the story’s developments.

She has one friend who sees and loves her for who she really is, Carla (the always-great Taylour Paige), who is about to get married. As she grew up, she learned to pretend to conform, to seem to like what other young women like and wear what they wore.

She tells us she thought of herself as an old lady trapped in the body of a girl. And Mack was completely at home with her grandmother as she never was with people her own age. They loved to poke through vintage clothes together at a little boutique. Mack ( Elizabeth Lail as the 30-year-old version) was raised by her grandmother, “the coolest old gal” she ever knew, fearless and confident about what she liked and who she was. In the body-switching story 'Mack & Rita,' Diane Keaton plays a 30-year-old whose wish to be an old lady comes true. Though it doesn't happen in the usual way of waiting 40 years, but in a matter of moments after she visits a 'regress and be blessed' past lives specialist in a tent. The film's promising setup and excellent cast are let down by a script so forgettable that even to try to summarize it is to feel it dissolve from memory.
