Rating: 5.0
Sassy, funny and smart!
This is Meryl at her funny best. What more can you say when the screenplay is based on the best selling book by Carrie Fisher! And Carrie wrote the screenplay too! Ms. Fisher is well known in Hollywood as THE person to call if your script needs "pumping up". She calls herself a "Script Nurse"!! Too funny! And yes, she is very well paid for her services! By the way, Annette Benning got her big break in this film! She played the actress playing the hooker on the movie set. She only had a few lines, but everyone said "WHO WAS THAT?"!!. Hollywood took notice..the rest is history! Shirley M.'s caracter IS the fading Hollywood star. She is so full of life..and herself!! Anyway, this is an excellent, entertaining movie. A Mike Nichols directed film, so you can bet it's top notch!!!
