Based on Garrison Keillor's popular radio show.
Woody Harrelson, Tommy Lee Jones, Garrison Keillor, Kevin Kline, Lindsay Lohan, Virginia Madsen, John C. Reilly, Maya Rudolph, Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin.
As if the result of some strange mass-media fluke, the popular radio program "A Prairie Home Companion" somehow managed to survive the television age to entertain its audience every Saturday night from the stage of the historic Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minn. Week after week, hangdog host G.K. serves as unflappable emcee to an amiable hodgepodge of radio-friendly acts that include the likes of popular country duo Yolanda and Rhonda Johnson and singing cowboys the Old Trailhands. This is one show where the under-the-line antics are nearly as entertaining as the program itself. The efforts of down-on-his-luck private dick and backstage doorkeeper Guy Noir discovers the true identity of a mysterious blonde and helps aspiring teen singer Lola to find her true voice before a live audience. There is still plenty of fun and mystery to be had at the old Fitzgerald before the final curtain falls.
DVD, region 1; Dolby Digital; widescreen.

Great ensemble submitted by andreahubert on June 27, 2012, 9:29pm This movie has a wonderful ensemble cast.

meh submitted by manz on August 18, 2012, 10:06am I love Garrison Keillor's stories, and his radio show, but sadly, I could not get into this movie. Bummer, as I was super excited when it came out. Maybe I should try it again...

So so submitted by wendylv on July 12, 2015, 1:23pm This movie seems like it has potential, but it just didn't gel for me. I couldn't get into the characters or story.

It's good even if you didn't like Garrison Keillor. But better if you did, maybe. submitted by lisa on July 26, 2018, 4:43pm Funny it's listed as noir. It is a dark humor.

It SUCKS. Not that pervert harasser Keilor's fault, but ROBERT ALTMAN's. Most of his films SUCK. submitted by Tassos on May 1, 2021, 2:34pm Idiotic movie. Even Meryl Streep acts bad, with that very phony laugh of hers I just heard. Pitiful.
