Meryl Streep continues to amaze with the range of her talent. Rick Springfield is a revelation. They bring the requisite world-weariness of choices made in the past that weigh down their souls. But their love of rock n roll gives them and everyone who hears them play, joy. This is a complicated emotional journey - being there for your child when you've been absent for most of their lives. Making amends and eating humble pie is never easy. Mamie Gummer brilliantly plays the daughter in crisis. Wonderful contrasts in the lifestyles - turning the idea of the vast success of rock musicians and ordinary people on its head. Somehow, there is no spark. The film is a bit flat and predictable and never really catches fire.
