I don't want this blog to be a complete bitch/moan fest. I saw A Prarie Home Companion a couple weeks ago and thought I'd share my sheer joy.
Though it's not my favorite NPR program, I do listen to the show on occasion. It's a little too simple for me, which I know is the point. I love Garrison Keillor's The Writer's Almanac, though, and I think he is a brilliant, talented man.
Prarie Home Companion just reaffirmed this belief. It was really nice to just sit back and enjoy these actors loving life. They clearly reveled in these characters (especially Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin) and their joy came across the screen.
The music was fun and exciting. I'm pretty sure a smile was plastered to my face the entire time.
That said, I don't know why there was an angel in the movie. I understand what they were going for and it did add another layer to the story. I just didn't like or buy that layer. And Lindsey Lohan. Yikes. She's really disappointing. I loved her in Mean Girls. I still don't understand that choice. Her voice is horrible and her acting was not enjoyable.
Oops! Bitching again. Sorry. The movie was wonderful.

Other than Fresh Air and Democracy Now, it is my favorite show. I'm mostly not heard good things about the movie though... I'm reserving judgment until I illegally download it and watch it for myself.

In my opinion, you're listening to the wrong people. If PHC is one of your favorites, I think you'll enjoy it even more than I did.
