it seem and from the audience demographic and that i be the only person under 60 who listen to phc . do i have any business review what be and apparently and an old person movie . do one tolerance for excitement diminish so much with age that i myself would consider this watchable 20 year from now . can i ever trust imdb user review again and after see an average score of 7 . 7 for this most awful of movie . and can i ever enjoy listen to phc on the radio again and after suffer through the two most tedious hour i have ever spend in a movie theater . i go to see it with my girlfriend . she want to see the lake house . i point out that it have get terrible review and and it wasn not on for 2 hour and and say that she could trust the prarie home companion people . i have be a fan of the show since reagan be in office . you would think that a 2 hour phc movie could be at least as good a a 2 hour phc radio show . but the movie suffer some major flaw relative to the radio show represent1 . you couldn not get up and iron clothes or file bill or do whatever you do during the musical part of the show . 2. the funny part of the radio show and like the monologue and the skit and weren not in the movie . 3. the movie do not set any boundary between reality and fantasy . in the radio show and you always know where the boundary be between truth and fiction . the sketch be fiction while the actor be real . the movie be present a if the sketch be real . guy noir be a real detective while dusty and lefty be real cowboy . a mildly amusing sketch about an orangutan and a rottweiler and a flock of geese and and a letter from an ex lover much the sort of stuff you might hear on the show be present a if the ex lover bit be reality and so that it be not so much funny a pathetic . 4. the movie couldn not decide whether it want to be slapstick or drama . really serious thing would happen to or be talk about by the actor and and i couldn not tell whether we be suppose to sympathize with them and or laugh at them . when lily tomlin and meryl streep be talk about their family woe while lily daughter read her bad poem about suicide and the story be just outrageous enough that you can not tell if it suppose to be a comic piece or character drama . 5. i couldn not reconcile the supernatural element of the plot with the familiar background of the phc radio show . not to mention that everything that happen and make no difference and and you do not know what happen in the final scene . also and a tip to gk for any future screenplay represent introduce the first plot event less than one hour into the show . if they have just present a phc show without the distracting and uninteresting plot and they could have fit in more interesting stuff . if they really want to go with a plot and they should have cut 5 or 6 musical number out to give them a little time to do something with it . instead and they give u a pseudo movie and pseudo radio show with a pseudo plot and pseudo character not develop enough to be call 2 dimensional . i writhe in my seat wait for it to end and know that i would owe my girlfriend big time for this . if i would be there alone and i would have walk out . i try to read a book and but she do not have one and say i have to suffer with her . i have to look on the bright side . it be much bad for my girlfriend she hat folk music .
