Mother love

I had seen this movie in the theater and just had to finally own it. It truly is a feel good movie. And Shirley MacLaine with Meryl Streep is a win win situation. As in other MacLaine movies she is sassy as ever just as in real life and that is one reason I love her movies. And Meryl Streep is so versatile, and still going strong, the both of them. Proof you can get acting jobs as a woman after 40, you just have to be timeless and those 2 are up with there with the best timeless actresses. Glad for their continued successes.

A nice package!

Postcards From The Edge is a wonderful, edgy comedy with a tightly written script, wonderful lead performances, and it is littered with cameos and small roles that give a industry-insider feel without detracting from the story. If you love State & Main...you need to watch this as well.

A VERY FUNNY MOTHER-DAUGHTER MOVIE
Added 1/25/2009
POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE is a lovely movie, with a wonderful cast. Watching two of the finest actresses in cinema ( Streep, and MacLaine ) play off from one another is quite a treat. They really brought out some of the poignancy of the characters from Carrie Fisher's memorable, autuobiographical, book, while still managing to be flat-out hilarious. It's a chick-flick, perhaps, but a fun one, and well worth the price of admission.

Good film & still holds up
Added 1/11/2009
If you never read Carrie's 1987 book with the same name then you would not be spoiled by the film.
The book was good & so is the film.
A lot of names in the cast. Meryl & Shirley are great as Suzanne & Doris. Several of the cast are friends of Carrie's.
COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT QUAID. I am NOT a fan of his.
Of course this is an older DVD. I would have thought they would have released it December 2008 when Carrie's book "Wishful Drinking" was released.
Good to have the option of widescreen or not.
I am HOWEVER, DISAPPOINTED IN THE EXTRAS. Only 1 of note is Carrie's commentary. No deleted scenes or mistakes.
Ha ha Bonus trailers YOU GET TO SEE TRAILER FOR OTHER FILM NOT INTERESTED
Talent files on some of the cast-WAS NOT COMPLETE OR CURRENT.
As I said, extras were a disappointment.
But, you will not be disappointed in the film.

One great movie!

Streep and Maclaine are outstandingly hilarious as mother and daughter. Both these actresses also show off their vocal talents and Streep is obviously talented enough to have succeeded entirely on her singing.
