I am not sure what the point of LL's character was, to be honest.

I liked it but I didn't LOVE it... it had some really funny moments, most of the acting was amazing, Meryl Streep and, surprisingly, Woody Harrelson made the movie for me... but there was a real cheese factor to it that I didn't expect and did not enjoy... the lady in the white trench coat? It just didn't work for me, I thought she was out of place and pointless.  But, I was able to ignore her and the cheesy ending and enjoy the rest.  All in all it's a lot of fun!

The lady in the white coat didn't work for me, either, and I got tired of her drifting around with that look on her face. Turning Guy Noir into a real person was a clever idea, but I don't think they pulled it off. I did like Dusty and Lefty and their song near the end, but I have heard all the jokes on the annual joke show a zillion times.

starboardlight:
I liked the movie enough, but I have to admit, I miss the characters. I thought Dusty and Lefty just weren't the ones I've come to love. I thought they were just two actors who didn't have any connection to the characters. I also was disappointed in Guy Noir. Kline did bring humor, but it's not the same. I guess, if they had titled the film with a fictional show, and gave the characters different names, I probably would have liked it more. But they didn't. They've set us fans of the radio show up to expect those things that we love from the radio show, and they didn't deliver.

twistedude:
Didn't anyone but me think Streep was wonderful? Boy, the way she could belt out a song, and her and Tomlin together were teriffic. I haven't laughed in a movie theater since I saw Sophie School (just kidding). I don't get a joke channel, or whatever, so all the jokes were nice and fresh for me. And Lefty and friend-=-I don't kow the originals, so they seemed fine too.

This is a better version of  "In the Sweet Bye and Bye":

Long-=haired prachers come out every night
And they tell you what's wrong and what's right
But when asked about something to eat
They will answer in voices so sweet:

You will eat
bye and bye
in that wonderful land beyond the sky;
work and pray
live on hay
there'll be pie in the sky when you die.

 (friom Depression times).

I thought the Angel in the White Coat (not lady) made an inetresting character, and I like almost all the songs

I used to work in Chicago, in a department store
I used to work in Chicago, I did but I don't anymore.
Lady came into the store one eday
I asked her what she came for
"LIquor," she said
and lick 'er I did
I don't work there anymore.

Obviously, I just have a crude sense of humor...

YO, Leslie, still want to know wehat C2 means...when you get around to it. That was ALL I wanted...
