RICKI AND THE FLASH
Directed by Jonathan Demme
Screenwriter Diablo Cody
Starring Meryl Steep; Kevin Kline; Rick Springfield; and Mamie Gummer
A musician, Streep) who gave up everything for her dream of rock-and-roll stardom returns home, when her daughter is going through a tough time..
Meryl Streep. I know it is Streep!! So miscast.
Diablo Cody. I know it is Diablo!! How did she write something so bad and corny. It is missing Diablo's quickness and her bite.
They try to throw an umbrella around this thought process of...if a man (Jagger) can leave his family to pursue a music career? What can't a woman? No!!!!! You can do both!!!!! Jagger was successful over a long period of time. Ricki was literally a flash in the pan. There is no reason she cannot do both. And it does not make Jagger right either he can do both. UGH!!!!!!! Look up Pat Benatar!! Carole King!!! They did both!!!
There is a break up., played by Streep's real life daughter Mamie, she was unpleasant.
Streep as Ricki was unpleasant and cannot sing and it was hard to watch.
In fact other than Kline everybody in Ricki's family is unpleasant.
The only good thing to watch is Rick Springfield and I don't get his characters attraction to Ricki and they had absolutely no chemistry.
Then throw in a corny awful ending, involving a wedding.
This film is bad.
1 star out of 5 for Ricki And The Flash. It was really unpleasant from the bad singing to the characters.
From the shadows thanks for your time.
