Review of A Prairie Home Companion (2006) by Andrewc. — 14 May 2007
A Prairie Home Companion is an excellent variety show on radio, but the movie...it's another story altogether. First, the lack of a script during the "dramatic" portions makes it rambly and random, the music is rather horrific (who knew Meryl Streep could sing? Oh wait - she can't.
), and the all-star cast goes to waste as there is little character development, no plotline to speak of, and no variety. The trademark humor from the radio show is missing here. Even Garrison Keillor's wacky personality can't save this film from being terrible.
Take this from a fan of the radio show: don't watch this movie.
