You do not need to be a fan of Garrison Keillor, or Lake Woebegone, or Prairie Home Companion itself, to like this movie. You do need to be a fan of folky/country music, laid-back often-only-funny-in-very-obscure-ways Midwestern humor and meandering circling back and forth story lines. If you liked “A Mighty Wind”, you will probably like this.

It was poignant, and sweet, and funny, and charming, and I quite enjoyed the movie overall and Meryl Streep in particular. (My mom apparently connected with Lindsay Lohan’s character the most. If you could have heard how my Dad described that to me…PRICELESS.)

Oh and the songs Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly sing…and their characters in general…what a HOOT!
