{movie} a prairie home companion (2006)

From director Robert Altman comes this quirky piece of fiction based on the real-life radio program of the same name, with a wry screenplay penned by the show's host, Garrison Keillor. Supported by a high-powered cast that includes Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Lindsay Lohan, John C. Reilly, Tommy Lee Jones and Kevin Kline, Keillor also stars in this behind-the-scenes look at the mayhem surrounding the folksy program's final broadcast.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: * Just not my generation of entertainment, I guess. Songs were horrible. The jokes weren't funny. This was just a boring movie. Great cast handed content that just couldn't deliver. This movie was so horrible. The singing variety show has never worked for me and a movie about it worked even less. I just couldn't sit through it and had to end the suffering 45 minutes in.
