Having just separated from her husband, Florence moves into Olive’s home, but the two begin to clash almost immediately as Florence dedicates herself to obsessive cleaning while Olive enjoys the slovenly life of a single female. When worlds collide you can rest assured that comedy explodes as the tenacious twosome tear each other apart in this laugh-out-loud comedy caper.
