Overview

Acclaimed filmmaker Robert Altman Short Cuts, Nashville brings National Public Radio stalwart Garrison Keillor's long-running radio program to vivid life on the big screen in a intricately woven backstage fable centering on the final performance of a fictionalized version of his variety show. As if the result of some strange mass-media fluke, the popular radio program A Prairie Home Companion somehow managed to survive the television age to entertain its audience every Saturday night from the stage of the historic Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, MN. Week after week, hangdog host Garrison Keillor serves as unflappable emcee to an amiable hodgepodge of radio-friendly acts that include the likes of popular country duo Yolanda and Rhonda Johnson Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin and singing cowboys the Old Trailhands Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly. This is one show where the under-the-line antics are nearly as entertaining as the program itself, though, and in between the efforts of down-on-his-luck private dick and backstage doorkeeper Guy Noir Kevin Kline to discover the true identity of a mysterious blonde Virginia Madsen and aspiring teen singer Lola Lindsay Lohan to find her true voice before a live audience, there's still plenty of fun and mystery to be had at the old Fitzgerald before the final curtain falls on A Prairie Home Companion. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble
Garrison Keillor's much-beloved public-radio variety show comes to the screen as a delightful all-star extravaganza that, despite its present-day setting, affectionately recalls a bygone era. Written by Keillor and directed by Robert Altman, A Prairie Home Companion whisks viewers back to a time when radio broadcasts were performed before live audiences, actors might miss cues, and sound-effects men worked furiously with primitive equipment to make the appropriate noises. The film, which presents Keillor's show in a fictional context, isn't heavily plot-driven. It follows what is supposed to be the show’s final broadcast, which puts all the characters at a crossroads. There’s also a mystery of sorts involving detective Guy Noir (Kevin Kline) and a trench-coated blonde beauty (Virginia Madsen), which licenses Kline’s most inspired hamming since A Fish Called Wanda. Like the best of Altman’s films, though, Prairie is carried by a variegated cast of characters involved in minor interwoven dramas, skillfully drawn by resourceful actors encouraged to improvise. Especially satisfying in this regard is the story line that casts Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin as a rootsy singing-sister act and Lindsay Lohan as single mom Streep’s cranky and, at least at the beginning, non-performing daughter. Equally amusing are Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly as a pair of cowboy singers prone to injecting more double-entendre into their act than is called for. And of course, there's Keillor himself, dubbed merely “GK” here, an odd-looking duck whose rich, silky-smooth voice complements his image as a laid-back, bemused participant amid these gently eccentric goings-on. Tasty, if not particularly expeditious, this thoroughly successful Altman-Keillor collaboration is sure to delight fans of these two uniquely American talents.
