A Prairie Home Companion Movie Review

What an adorable movie. Everyone was just great in it. The music was nice, the jokes were on point, and it was just a very pleasant movie. I was left grinning from the opening scene to the closing scene. And I’d forgotten what a good actress Lindsay Lohan used to be. Too bad Garrison Keillor turned out to be such a creepo. Really put a taint on the movie.
