A Prarie Home Companion
Grade: B
Stellar cast! Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Lily Tomlin, Lindsay Lohan, Maya Rudolph, Woody Harrelson, and many more including Garrisson Keillor playing himself! It’s the last broadcast of an old-time radio show. Robert Altman directs, and he’s a genius. He lets the actors get into character and create the dialogue for themselves. It comes very naturally and authentically. The movie is a hoot. Not for everyone – you’ve got to be willing to put your feet up and relax into it. |
