A down-home-exquisite musical dramedy.
Sometimes you forget how great an actor is, then he or she is reborn in an Altman movie.
Take a swig of this moonshine. There's magic in it.
It's a breezy, homespun, relaxing thing...watching this laid-back picture feels, oddly enough, like a vacation from movies.
A Prairie Home Companion has many lovely and funny moments, but there's not a lot going on. Dramatically, it's mellow to the point of inertia. There may not be any sweat, but there isn't any heat, either.
A Prairie Home Companion tries to embrace the spirit of that longtime radio series but suffocates the very qualities that make the original show so special in the first place.
This is not one of the good Altmans. This isn't even one of the mediocre Altmans.
