serenacroteau I laughed until the end! The storyline was very well put together and it was an unexpected ending. I loved the controversy between certain characters who's flaws clashed, making the story move along.

tlarraya This movie is not worth seeing. There is no story worth telling. You expect some twist by the end but nothing really happens. It's good to see the acting of Simon Helberg out of the TV Show "The Big Bang Theory" but that's pretty much it. Nothing else to see. Skip it and do yourself a favor.

evanston_dad What's up with Stephen Frears? Every once in a while he delivers a really excellent little gem of a movie, like "The Grifters" or "The Queen." The rest of his time is spent concocting twee little trifles like "Mrs. Henderson Presents" or "Florence Foster Jenkins," movies based on subjects that can barely sustain their running time.Everything in "Florence Foster Jenkins," with the exception of Hugh Grant's performance, is pitched to clownish level. This applies to Meryl Streep's Oscar-nominated performance, which was really just Hollywood's way of thanking her for a blistering Golden Globes speech that year anyway. There may have been an interesting film to make of this society lady who was famous for being such a horrible singer. But Frears doggedly refuses to make anything more than a pedestrian, feel-good bit of fluff out of it. The worst victim of Frears' direction is poor Simon Helberg, who gives an unwatchably mannered performance as Florence's pianist.This film feels like it was made for the express purpose of being nominated for a Best Costume Design Oscar, which it dutifully was.Grade: C

Davis P Florence Foster Jenkins starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant has its entertaining moments and a lot of it is very inspiring. Florence's unwavering determination to sing is so admirable and it's entertaining to see her journey into singing and holding concerts. There were moments that had me bent over laughing at her horrendous singing, bless her heart she was trying so hard but she was so flat and out of tune. That's where the comedic aspect of the film comes in. There are some parts of the film where it was a bit dull, but luckily those parts were rare and the majority of the movie is entertaining. Meryl Streep of course is spot on with academy award nominated performance as Florence Foster Jenkins, she's funny, admirable, and deep when you may not expect her to be. Hugh Grant was pretty good too, honestly Streep as Florence overshadows Grant as her husband, but his performance suffices. Both the costume and set design is wonderfully done! I recommend this funny endearing well acted film for anyone who loves this type of film or if you're a Meryl Streep fan. I watched it because I adore Streep and it was pretty good, especially the ending. 7/10.
