Really Surprised!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Sebastian Stan looks beautiful as hell in this one and I love it

Linda Brummell a.k.a. Riki Rendazzo (Meryl Streep), leaves her husband and children behind to live a Rock-n-Roll life. She's been somewhat successful, but now plays in local bars at night and works at an organic grocery store during the day.While his 2nd wife is away, Riki's ex-husband, Pete (Kevin Kline) calls her and asks her to leave California and head back to Indianapolis to be with their daughter Julie (Mamie Gummer/Steep's real life daughter). Julie is very depressed, looks a wreck, could use a shower, and is generally miserable after her husband leaves her for another woman. Riki heads home unsure of what to expect and wondering what kind of help it is that she can really offer. Riki's boyfriend, Greg (Rick Springfield) is just as tired of Riki's self absorbed ways as her family is. This is one of those modern day screwed up families that seems to find their way. Good popcorn movie.

A hot mess in fact. Incredible cast and an idea that could have been interesting. I absolutely adore Meryl Streep, but I felt myself cringing every time she and her cover band performed. The last 30 minutes or so were painful, especially the last 10 minutes. Talk about a ham handed ending. I went into this with very low expectations and yet still found it disappointing.I read another reviewer who mentioned Kevin Kline putting his head in Meryl Streep's lap ala Sophie's Choice (which happens to be one of my all time favorite films). I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice that strange connection. Sadly, I couldn't help but think what a crime it is to have Streep and Kline reunited in this terribly bungled film.

I am in utter disbelieve that this move got released the way it is – didn't they watch it before they released it?? I imagine they started out with a good screenplay in order to attract that caliber of actors, but it is really shockingly poorly produced and directed and quite seriously insults my intelligence as a viewer. I feel like the scenes are written for a 5th grader smoking pot and, unfortunately, it just gets worse and worse as the movie goes on until it finishes with an ending that was so bad I couldn't even look! I'm just so embarrassed for the truly accomplished and brilliant actors in this film. What a waste of talent.
