Meryl Steep as a rock'n roll star, which cannot be true. Well, surprisingly, she seems to handle the role reasonably well. But, definitely, her acting appears NOT at her best, and the story doesn't interest me.

Merryl Streep is singing with a small band. Sounded like a fun thing. Five minutes in she receives a phone call from her former husband. Their daughter has split with her husband and come to live with the father. She's “going to…

If you like Springsteen and rock music you'll love this film. Unfortunately some people don't like either one - I'm one of them. I've never seen Meryl Streep act so badly. I'm guessing that the director made her do it. So out of…

I had no idea this movie existed and honestly I'm glad I gave it a try. It was definitely a side of Meryl Streep that I hope never resurfaces again. Surprisingly/and not surprisingly she did a great job in a role that was a million miles…

Leave it to Jonathan Demme to put together a Hollywood movie that isn't exactly predictable. And, to have it star Meryl Streep, Rick Springfield, and Kevin Kline.

Loved this movie! Meryl Streep is such a versatile and talented actor. I liked the story, and I understood how she needed to move on from the place she came from. Kevin Kline was also very believable. I really liked the band as well.

Don't expect to laugh. Whoever labeled this a comedy should be shot.

I loved Meryl Streep in this complex role. She actually learned to play rhythm guitar for the part and that is actually her singing. Rick Springfield is as cute as ever. Neat that Meryl's real-life daughter, Mamie Gummer, plays her…

Just eh from me. If you're a fan of Meryl Streep or Meryl Streep singing, this movie is for you. I found it kinda boring.

My partner and I liked this film. Good writing by Diablo Cody (Juno: (2007), Tully: 2018) and direction by Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs: 1991; The Manchurian Candidate: 2004). All actors work well together and do a fine job.…

VERY GOOD 2015 film featuring Meryl Streep in a rather 'alt' role as an age 60 something lady rocker. The film plot is a bit whack, but the production, etc. is quite good and all the actors do a fine job.

I totally enjoyed the movie

Streep played her character well but the plot at the end does not seem her to ask for redemption or apologize much for letting her family down through the years for the sake of being a "musician". Making music cannot compensate for true…

A horrible movie. Do not watch it.

For the most part, I enjoyed this movie. I won't give anything away, but I think the ending could have been better and more believable (scaled down). I especially liked Rick Springfield and his character.

Straight to DVD. Meryl Streep at her absolute best? Question: who is the target demographic for this film? The Adam Sandler contingency? When heavyweights like Kline, Streep and (ugh) Springfield make a movie like this, it's known in…

Only managed to watch about 15 minutes or so then gave up. Seemed very formulaic, and totally unbelievable.

Is this a comedy a musical a drama or just another good movie directed by Jonathan demme? All of the above.

When I noted both the cast and the general subject matter covered here, I knew a couple of things: (1) it was NOT going to be a serious film, and (2), if decently done, it was going to be worth watching. I was absolutely correct -…

This movie has some funny moments but in the end the situatuion isn't really resolved because the main character really doesn't admit to anything that she has done wrong. Good musical #'s but otherwise the plot fell flat.

This movie is GREAT! The script is both hilarious and moving. I laughed, but I cried more. This is one I will be watching again and again. I almost didn't check it out, since I didn't hear anything good. However ~ once again ~ Meryl…

Rick Springfield. Enough said.
