I was just talking with Paul Krassner, hoping he could give me some great recommendations, so I sent him my list of 100, and he replied with this movie. Has anyone seen it? Ratings help me decide on which movies to watch. It's been 4 days, partly because I thought a few days would give me more urges to watch, and I was gone all day yesterday on a whim.

Please no spoilers. A grade is just fine. Someone elsewhere spoiled a movie by saying it had a bad ending.

Matt, I see you've already watched Florence Foster Jenkins and didn't care for it. So my post is a bit after the fact. But, I really enjoyed it. I reviewed it, my review (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?anchor=1&p=1648282#post1648282) and gave it 4.

It wasn't a deep movie, nor was it socially relevant or emotionally moving. But it was a well done period piece, bio pic, with light comedy by two fine actors. It was better than the latest comic-book-hero movie of the week. That's for sure.

I loved Florence Foster Jenkins...Streep was brilliant and Hugh Grant has never been better.

i gave florence foster jenkins a 5.7/10, but the more important thing is why/how were you talking with paul krassner?

We started our conversations talking about Mort Sahl, and became e-mail buddies.
