Review of Ricki and the Flash (2015) by Lauri J — 07 Aug 2015

I loved it. As usual Meryl Streep becomes the character she plays. If you think of Meryl as rocker, may be a stretch, but if you watch, you see Ricki the character and totally believe it. Plus all the singing and guitar playing I understand was REAL and live, so that's pretty impressive.

Rick Springfield is a consummate guitar guy so he wows, yet you buy that he is the character Greg. Kevin Kline followed his role well as always. The pathos in the film, the heart and the character/actor interactions were great.

And you want to bop to the music. Highly recommend!
