a slighter Altman than some, but its charm steals up on you

Last films often turn out to have surprising aspects, sometimes being out and out masterpieces like John Huston's The Dead, but often not. The lightweight tone of A Prairie Home Companion is more typical, but in this case it has more to do with Garrison Keillor's script than Altman's trademark overlapping dialogues and emphasis on ensemble. It is a lot about death - the last broadcast for the long-running radio show of the title, it features actors singing for real, essentially two duos. The first is formed of two sisters, played by Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin, the second of two cowboys, embodied with impeccable credentials by John C. Reilly and Woody Harrelson. There is a constant stream of performances before a studio audience, stitched together by Keillor himself as compere, who says a lot of advertising blurb in between numbers. At the same time, a ghost goes around the building ready to take the dead to God, and fancied (she is very beautiful) by a security guard played by Kevin Kline, who comes across more as a detective. There is a humorous patter to the whole film, shot in the cosy interiors of the theatre/studio where it is made. The two guys are more on the ribald side - a number of gags involve Reilly's butt, for some reason, either because too much of it is showing above his trousers (we hear) or because he has an attack of wind related to grief when another singer dies. These moments are very funny, in fact; the sisters and Streep's daughter, played by Lindsay Lohan, are more on the sentimental side in their choice of songs. Many people will love this film straight off; initially I found it a bit too winsome and too centred on country music - but if you give it time the magic becomes apparent; Reilly and Streep, in particular, give outstanding performances which really suggest they are on the cusp of acting and musical performances. It's just one of many ambiguities the film seems to hold afloat.

A fitting final film from the late, great Robert Altman.

Loved A Prairie Home Companion. The last film to be directed by Robert Altman before he passed away in 2006 and this underrated entry shows that he still hadn't lost his way with handling large ensemble casts. While it's no Nashville, this movie is just as intriguing with its individual scenes revolving around different characters and the chemistry between the actors is nothing short of amazing. I enjoyed this a lot more than the equally great Gosford Park and feel A Prairie Home Companion needs to be appreciated more. Especially if you're a fan of Altman's work like.

a charming and very engaging film

I found this film absolutely charming. It's whimsical and fairly slow-moving, but so many delightful things happen along the way that it hardly matters. The music hall is due to be closed down - it has outlived its time - and we witness its last evening. Various acts perform : Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin are the singing Johnson sisters (both excellent, and Streep a revelation as a Country-and-Western performer ; she is a real show-stopper), Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly a cowboy double-act with a penchant for blue jokes, very corny and very funny. Kevin Kline is Guy Noir, the security man, a third rate private eye, and Virginia Madsen appears mysteriously in a white coat - she represents the end, closure, death itself. Holding it all together is Garrison Keillor, himself a first-rate performer and very good in this film, and the film does have structure as the show awaits the arrival of Tommy Lee Jones, who will close it down ; the consequences are to some extent unexpected. It was Robert Altman's last film and bears many of his hallmarks, the camera meandering around the characters and observing their performances, their conversations, their private behaviour. It ends in a diner, an effectively bitter-sweet ending which leaves at least one question unanswered. I enjoyed every minute of the film, and it's nice to have it on DVD with quite a few extras - commentary by Kline and Altman, how the film was made, interviews and deleted scenes.

Superb Film, the late Robert Altman's farewell piece of work.

Its extremely well performed.. of course it has its flaws, but its very well shot, the musical numbers (the entire point of the film and the way the story is told for the most part) are wonderfully performed. All the songs were performed live on set also, so you really get immersed... the great thing about this film is that you can work out the story simply by listening to the soundtrack carefully.

Anyway, the lighting is okay and costume and make up are spot on. Clap clap clap!

Gentle and worthwhile.

End-of-an-era stuff: this is the quirky Robert Altman fictionalisation of Garrison Keillor's regular old-timey family radio show. To provide a story-backbone the film imagines the radio-show coming to a sudden end as the station is sold and as a company `axeman' comes to clear-out the old stuff. The premise is eccentric and the delivery heartfelt, personal and hugely affecting. Death and afterlife are explored in a gentle manner that gains additional significance given that we already know Altman died shortly after completion. This is a special movie.
