Streep as a Rocker just does not work. I didn't watch the movie because when I saw the trailer with her portrayed as a washed up Rocker it just seemed ridiculous. Will not watch, and reading other reviews, looks like I am not going to miss out on anything.
shareI'm tired of Streep, but I just saw this movie and I'm pleasantly surprised at how good she was in it. In my opinion she actually did pull off this portrayal. She was even convincing playing, singing and how she behaved onstage. Bear in mind this character never made the big time but was bar room act, not Cher.
I expected to see Streep coming through, but she did well to make this character believable.
