A Prairie Home Companion (2006)

Synopsis: A live radio show has what is supposed to be its last performance before the new owners of the building tears it down.

Appraisal: Tame and uninspired musical drama. Some performances are good (note to self: watch anything Kline is in), others not quite (e.g. Tomlin); it is quite clear that there was no direction of actors in this movie (e.g. Lohan looks her ordinary, healthy self, not someone who writes poems about suicide). And about the Angel of Death - I guess they could come up with a less worn out cliché.

Rating: 43
