    Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine are perfect together. Both do their own singing, which is even more impressive. Streep gives one of the strongest comedic performances of her legendary career. Great screenplay and brilliant direction by Mike Nichols.

    Good mother/daughter chemistry from MacLaine and Streep and some great musical performances.
  • September 18, 2009
    Very good, four stars at least, and I definitely would recommend it. However I need to see it again to rate it fairly.
