Movie: Ricki and the Flash
Jan's Rating: A
Time: 1 hour 42 minutes
Jan's Opinion: I saw this movie today with my hubby and my sister and we all three loved it! You have probably seen the previews on TV where Meryl Streep plays Ricki, and The Flash is her band. She sings and strums the heck out of that guitar! She left her husband (Kevin Kline) and children years ago to pursue a career singing. She and her band play in a bar in California while her ex-husband and his new wife rear the children in a beautiful home in Indianapolis. One day Ricki gets a call from her ex-husband saying their daughter (played by Mamie Gunner, Meryl Streep's real daughter) is very depressed because her husband left her for another woman, and the daughter needs Ricki, so she flies to Indianapolis to try to console her daughter, who now hates her after all the years without her. Her two sons have no love for her either, thus begins the healing process between Ricki and her daughter and two sons. From the previews, I thought this movie was a comedy, but it is about a family who loses their way and then tries to mend relationships. Excellent movie!
