  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in
    • All of them – Many
  • Why? Minnesota
  • Seen: Once before. Now 20 September 2024 

It must be confessed – or maybe not – that Minnesota plays a part in my past so it’s kind of a duty to like this film. Or at least see it. Or at least like Garrison Keillor.

’A Prairie Home Companion’ is a radio program based in St Paul, Minnesota, which has been bought and closed down by some rich guy in Texas. Not-at-all fun fact: Texas bought the Minnesota Northstars for which I hate the state of Texas. The film is about the last broadcast.

The radio program really existed. My dad loved it.

Great cast, boring film. Minnesota notwithstanding, this is awful.
