Review of Ricki and the Flash (2015) by Sandy K — 17 Mar 2016

How many A list actors can save a bad script? Wow. Great premise, poor execution. I think the least satisfying thing was lack of growth with the protagonist. She didn't give up anything...her boyfriend saved her.

The characters were thin and unbelievable and there were no stakes. Having a real musician for the lead and a different director might have helped, but if the foundation is weak...there's really no good option for redemption.
