About this movie

Meryl Streep as you have never seen her before, a hard-rocking singer/guitarist, in Ricki and the Flash, from Oscar®-winning director Jonathan Demme and Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody. In an original and electrifying film loaded with live musical performances, Streep stars as Ricki Rendazzo, a guitar heroine who made a world of mistakes as she followed her dreams of rock-and-roll stardom. Returning home, Ricki gets a shot at redemption and a chance to make things right as she faces the music with her family.

Ratings and reviews

Hey, its got Rick Springfield, Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and it starts with the music of Tom Petty, pretty much sealed the deal right there. A good movie of the awkwardness sometime of people and the choices we make. And I loved the music.

Wish I could've put 3.5. I liked the movie, interesting story and I LOVE Streep as much as the next person. I really wanted to watch this movie because of the type of character she was playing. She was amazing as always. I feel like this movie was more of a fun "gig" for her and her family to get into. All in all, I enjoyed it, but it's not one of those movies you watch more than once.

I follow alot of Meryl Streep's movies, it seems she is unique from a lot of the other great actresses. This movie is filled with great songs, funny moment heart felt moments. it has soon become one of my favs, And i even got the soundtrack, if your a music lover of the 80s and 90s you will like this movie,
