About
You’ll likely enjoy this charming, heartfelt comedy about chasing a dream despite obvious setbacks; Not for you if you want a serious, tightly plotted drama or you don’t want lots of singing, as in One Chance or Enough Said.
Pros: Meryl Streep shines; Gorgeous period costumes; Funny, warm story | Cons: Plot can feel flat; Too much singing; Some viewers dislike ending
