Just a few weeks before Ricki and the Flash debuts in theaters! I'll likely be seeing it for the first time in Cleveland, as Joe has a swim race there that weekend. A new tv spot was released today. Essentially nothing different from the trailer but worth a gander:
The film opens nationwide on August 7.
...a candid blog devoted to the incomparable American actress, Meryl Streep.
Still can't get over how lame they are making this movie seem... "sometimes a girl just needs her mother"-corniest dialogue ever. I mean come on. It just makes me mad that Meryl is going to miss the Oscar nomination this year for a potentially great character role all because they're taking a seemingly great concept and turning it into a lifetime movie... and for what? The way they're marketing this it doesn't seem like it will be a big box office hit either.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's marketed pretty cheesy. But I hope there's a method to the madness that I don't fully understand.
DeleteOh well. I'll get over it. Just seems like a waste is all since this project initially seemed so promising. I know I personally will still enjoy Meryl looking amazing in it no matter how crappy the film turns out to be. But that's me, I doubt the general public will feel the same way.
DeleteWe definitely need wider promo to play up the music and the drama of the piece.
