Review title: The most mis-cast movie in history
Product review: The review title says it all. Meryl Streep is a great actress but in this role looked totally out of her element. She appeared wooden throughout. Pierce Brosnan was a joke as a singer. Perhaps with some genuine musical theater stars in the role, it may have worked. Even so, I got so tired of its teeny-bopper mentality, even from the adults, that I soon came to understand why the late-night comedians made such fun of this film. Is it a feel-good film? Yes (my 81-year-old mother-in-law liked it), but much of the "feel-good" comes from laughing AT it. The blu-ray transfer was excellent, which befits the great ocean-front scenery, the movie's greatest asset. It sure wasn't the musical performances from Streep and Brosnan.
