Next I watched A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION, the Robert Altman film with a wonderful cast of actors: Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Kline, Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, Garrison Keillor himself (of course), Lindsey Lohan (ugh!), Tommy Lee Jones, and Virginia Madsen.
I really really enjoyed the movie. The music was just wonderful (no wonder Meryl got tapped for the movie of MAMMA MIA after folks saw her singing so well on this. Of course, she's sung in other movies, but never this much material and in harmony quite often as well.) I didn't like Kevin Kline's idiot character very much, and Lohan is just not my cup of tea (and she hit a fair number of bad notes in her climactic solo).
But it was just enjoyable to sit back and let the spell of the piece waft over you.
