Ricki Without Much Flash
Meryl Streep, Rick Springfield, Audra McDonald and Kevin Klein are all worth watching in this predictable and sentimental movie musical. The problem really comes down to a mediocre script from Diablo Cody. I expected more from Academy Award winner Ms. Cody than this workmanlike and often tedious screenplay. The music is great and Streep is a super singer and along with Springfield, they turn in great performances. Audra McDonald is a gem who I hope to see more of in films in the future. The milieu of the sleazy bar in Tarzana where Streep and Springfield are the house band is fascinating. Too bad it all ends up to be nothing more than a tired wedding and predictable emotional resolution of a mother and her entitled children. Thank God for the music which director, Jonathan Demme, allows to play out at length – perhaps to fill in the time since the script was substandard. We all love Meryl Streep but I couldn’t help but wonder, how did her daughter get that job.

Why all the singing???
I have the utmost respect for Meryl Streep as an actress. She is amazing and has deserved all the acclaim for her roles in a wide variety of exceptional movies. That being said, a few years ago she made “Mama Mia”…which proved that despite her prodigious talents, Ms. Streep cannot do everything…especially when it came to singing. Perhaps this is why she later made “Ricki and the Flash”…to prove she really COULD sing. And, while she was passable, it just convinced me that once again Meryl should NOT be singing in her films. Inexplicably…Streep just finished another musical…”Mama Mia! Here We Go Again”. Please, please stop already!!

The story begins with a long song delivered by Meryl in a honkeytonk….and there was much more of this to come. If they’d just stopped with that one song, it might have been okay. They didn’t. You learn that Meryl left her family to pursue her musical career. Her husband (Kevin Kline) has since remarried and they’ve both lived totally separate lives since. However, their daughter (played by Streep’s real life daughter) is having emotional problems and he has invited her to come back to see their daughter, and, perhaps, to help. What comes after that is pretty cliched, though the film DOES have some excellent moments and might even elicit a few tears. My problem is the shameless way the film had Ricki (Streep) come and perform at her son’s wedding and, apparently, that just made everything great and the film ends. Thank heaven for the magical power of Meryl’s singing….not.

The bottom line is that this movie would have been excellent if there never had been any singing at all…and the singing was a distraction. Additionally, the band actually had, as lead guitarist, Rick Springfield…a guy who really CAN sing and make music….why not let him sing if you insist on having singing?! Overall, I was pretty disappointed in this one…mostly because Meryl is a mega-talent….just not when it comes to singing.
