"Sometimes a girl just needs her mother." Ricki (Streep) is a full time rock star and part time mom. When she is called home to help her daughter Julie (Gummer) who is going through a divorce everyone remembers why she is only a part time mother. All of the tenseness from the past come back up between her and all of her kids and she starts to wonder if she made the right choice with her life. Meryl Streep is a great actress, everyone knows this. The thing that is borderline annoying is that besides being a great actress she can sing, play guitar and pull off playing an aging rock star as perfect as playing a Prime Minister with dementia. As far as the movie goes I did like it but it's nothing super amazing. This movie is written by the same writer of Juno and is very much that style of a movie. Dysfunctional family problems that come off as real and not forced. This is a movie worth watching, but a hard one to review. There is a lot of real, believable conversations in this and the movie keeps you interested and watching the entire time. Overall, nothing that will win any awards but a good and fun lighter movie that is worth watching. I give this a B.
