I apologise, we feel bad, but there's no trailer available. ~Ed.
I listen to the show on nAtional radio during the summer breaks so I could make sense of it but otherwise poorly edited and rambling' Nice to see Meryl streep and Lily tomlin together ,And scandal mongers myself were cheered at the sight of the the alcohol fuelled stumblings / ramblings of Lyndsay Lohan{hollywood piss head]and the protective onscreen behavior of the dames of the screen toward her. reminiscent of Wedding speeches where father of the bride is blind drunk.Take food and a small bottle of chardonay .
Saw this on a plane - cant wait to catch it again on the big screen - such a gentle, warm, funny film with captivating performances. The plot is next to irrelevant as the characters steal the movie and the songs, tales and light hearted banter bring to the screen the wonderful talent of Garrison Keillor and his mythical mid west.
What a lovely film this is, so gentle and whimsical, so simple and profound. Robert Altman's "A Prairie Home Companion" is faithful to the spirit of the radio program, a spirit both robust and fragile, and yet achieves something more than simply reproducing a performance of the show. It is nothing less than an elegy, a memorial to memories of times gone by, to dreams that died but left the dreamers dreaming, to appreciating what you've had instead of insisting on more...
The story is ultimately as forgettable as any of the folksy musical numbers that are sung, but your toes will still be tapping when you get up to leave...
Robert Altman's last film, a spinoff of a radio institution, is a homage to that institution and cracking old-time entertainment...
Director Robert Altman thinks it's about death. Writer Garrison Keillor thinks it's a light comedy. They're both right. But this screen take on Keillor's three-decades-running public-radio show, A Prairie Home Companion, is something else as well: a delectable antidote to the hard-sell sideshow of Hollywood...
Because it's a Robert Altman film, because it's written by Garrison Keillor, because it's a spin-off of a well-loved radio show, because Meryl Streep is in it and looks cheerful, because a lot of other people are in it who usually know better, "Prairie Home Companion" hovers for a while in a glow of audience goodwill...This is not one of the good Altmans. This isn't even one of the mediocre Altmans...
