Anything with Meryl Streep is worth watching. Even Doubt, which was uncomfortable but amazing. This movie is one of the most feel good movies I have seen in a long time. Amanda Sigfried is a revelation. Even with her voluptious body it was not distracting. I was dancing out of the theater, singing the songs in my head. Okay, I wasn't dancing, but the tunes really stuck with me. I hope we see more of Amanda in upcoming movies. I'm sure she can be a great dramatic actress too. But Streep steals the show. What did I expect? She is brilliant in every single movie she ever makes. HEr performance in this just solidifies her as the best actress probably ever. From the Bridges Of Madison County to Silkwood to The Deer Hunter to Doubt to this? Every performance is different and all of them on the same level. She is a treasure that we all need to support and embrace. There will never be another like her.
