This movie had way, way, WAY too much of Meryl Streep playing out her fantasy of being a rock star, singing (and playing? hard to tell) way too many nowhere rock songs.

I kept checking my watch, wondering if they were really going to go all the way through yet another uninspiring tune -- and yes, they were.… Expand

Yikes! RICKI AND THE FLASH is one contrived disaster. Can this really be directed by Jonathan Demme who gave us the masterpiece SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and an odd assortment prior to that?

Can this really be directed by Jonathan Demme who gave us the masterpiece SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and an odd assortment prior to that? Has Meryl Streep become such a one note, annoying and cloy actress? Was JUNO a fluke for Diablo Cody? I say yes! All of these talented people have been coasting and resting on their laurels for many years. Demme is truly the worst of all not having made a decent film since SILENCE OF THE LAMBS almost 25 years ago. The less said about RICKI the better but I will add two saving graces--the lead character does not apologize for who she is and the club numbers are quite good.

I thought this movie was very boring, depressing and uninteresting. Meryl Streep didn't seem comfortable in her role. Considering her amazing talent, she was a disappointment.

Considering her amazing talent, she was a disappointment. It was sad to witness as the only reason I went was because of her playing in it. Cosmetic surgery did nothing to convince me she was of an age to be her children's mother.… Expand

The number of bad cover songs played during the movie makes you squirm in your seat, hoping they will end, but they don't. Full-length songs are a very reliable indication of a chic flick, as the director tries to create mood with music,The number of bad cover songs played during the movie makes you squirm in your seat, hoping they will end, but they don't. Full-length songs are a very reliable indication of a chic flick, as the director tries to create mood with music, but it doesn't work, and this one is among the best ( wort) examples. None of the acting was believable. If they got rid of the sex, it might make a good kid's movie.… Expand
