Who Says Middle Age is Over the Hill?

Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2009)

Despite its implausible plot, this musical has a life of its own. It's very engrossing in its exotic locale and all the musical numbers are lively and well done. Pierce Brosnan actually sounds like Paul McCartney when he sings. Meryl Streep is a very good singer. Christine Baranski stole the show. The camera loves this woman and she's still very sexy at 55. Julie Walters and Meryl Streep are invisible when they share the screen with her; especially Julie Walters - invisible. Baranski is very graceful and carries the dance scenes. Amanda Seyfried is a beautiful young actress and she was a strong presence in the film - very lively and vivacious. I would recommend this film - it is very upbeat and entertaining.
