I don't go to many movies in the theater. Today I saw A Prairie Home Companion. Loved it. As I understand it, it was filmed on site in the theater where PHC actually is broadcast. The few outside scenes were also in St. Paul. Basically it's a film of one show, including behind the scenes, with a little more of a story built around it. Cast was great -- could not have been better. Some minor characters are from the PHC radio show. Big thumbs up for me. I'm getting the CD tomorrow and anxious for DVD already.

I can hardly wait for it to come to Ocean Shores Cinema!! I have the radio show on tapes...Garrison Keller is the funniest guy ever. To have Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Tommy Lee Jones...how could it not be good!! Thanks for the review Colordeagua.

Last night on PBS, real performance of Prairie Home Companion from Tanglewood (radio program, not the movie) was shown. Enjoyed it. Meryl Streep made various appearances. The show ended with Meryl and Garrison doing a duet of "What'll I do". Lately, I can't get enough of Meryl.

We have been ever so patiently waiting for this to get to our area. I can't wait to see it. I suspect it will be highly entertaining, in its hokey kind of way.

Just watched the DVD...odd, quirky, but I was entertained.

Just getting around to seeing this one thanks to Netflix. I loved it. (There's probably no middle ground with this one.) I will definitely be getting the soundtrack, too.
