A Prairie Home Companion
A Film Review By Clyde Ayles
ROUSING AND FUNNY
Director ROBERT ALTMAN is known for his off the wall movies with a great ensemble cast "(The Player" for one) has done it again. "A Prairie Home Companion" tells of the farewell broadcast of a popular radio show of Garrison Keillor, who wrote the screenplay. Station executives have decided to cancel the dusty old show in favor of a new youth oriented one. This will be the last hurrah for the singers and crew. MERYL STREEP and LILY TOMLIN are a sister dou, WOODY HARRELSON is a singing cowboy, LINDSAY LOHAN is Streep's daughter who sings a mean song herself. KEVIN KLINE is the station manager who meets TOMMY LEE JONES who is the bigshot sent to pull the plug. We also meet a very pretty blonde in a long white coat who turns out to be an angel. She brings some shocking results. There is a really hand clapping, foot stomping song by the cast at the end credits. A fun film. SEE YA AT THE MOVIES CLYDE.
