Meryl Streep and Rick Springfield blend their voices together to sing in this heartwarming music-filled movie. Meryl plays Ricki and Rick plays one of her band members, and they set the stage on fire with songs from the past that make you want to get up and dance.
“Ricki and the Flash” is the story of a woman who left everything and everyone behind to follow her singing career. She is not doing well in life but is trying, when she gets a call from her ex about their daughter who is going through a rough time after her husband leaves her. As most women would do, Ricki goes to see if she can help. But in this case, the effort is not really welcomed. While Ricki is in California, she discovers some feelings of her own and those that her children, ex-husband and his wife have about her. This is a heartwarming and a heartwrenching movie at times, but other times it will have you laughing and toe tapping. Although entertaining as it is, due to some content that is outside of our guidelines, we cannot consider this a family-friendly film.
