Plots(1)
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. (Sony Pictures)

I really liked this unconventional meeting of Meryl Streep with her family. I liked it because this movie showed precisely what happens when a person in their life prioritizes dreams instead of family. But how should a person find out how to act so that their actions would be correct? Meryl Streep enjoyed herself in her role and just like her, I enjoyed this movie as well.

Unfortunately, it's still a bit weak overall and too easily predictable to be a better than average film. What must be acknowledged is Meryl Streep, who sings and looks much younger than she actually is. She definitely nails the singing, and the rock songs are the highlight of this film about life crisis and subsequent redemption.
