This may not be a movie that I will ever see, but I can't believe its primary failings are either Pierce Brosnan's singing or Meryl Streep's dancing. Brosnan did a fine job on a few Irish numbers in 'Evelyn' (good enough that I've downloaded them), but perhaps those were in his wheelhouse. As for Streep, I've been lucky enough to see her on stage several times, first when we were at Vassar together and then when she appeared in Brecht's 'Happy End' on Broadway in about 1978. Meryl is one of those rare performers who can do it all. A true American treasure.
I remain puzzled by the rage and bitterness that I read in Ms. Zacharek's reviews, but I appreciate their overall intelligence. Keep it up.
