A musician who gave up everything for her dream of rock-and-roll stardom returns home, looking to make things right with her family.
As ever, Streep is impressive, performing all her songs live and showing gruff attitude and a strong finale makes up for some mid-section flab.
Meryl Streep rocks out in this well-cast but slight musical dramedy.
Cute and easygoing with some laughs, but weighed down at times by cliché.
This feminist-lite film about a mother-daughter relationship is fun, in an AOR-ish way, thanks to smart direction and some 80s music nostalgia.
Greatly enjoyable.
Ricki’s life may be chaotic but the film hits the high notes when it counts, in rambunctious, crowd-pleasing fashion.
