Apparently, Carrie Fisher and Co. decided to let all us common folk in on the big secrets of Hollywood. All major celebrities are drug addicts and everything is just a big gimmick. All kidding aside, Postcards from the Edge might seem ground breaking to someone who lives in Kansas and thinks that movies are made magically. For people aware of how the Hollywood system works, the film just grows tiresome.
Is the film about Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds? Probably. Or perhaps some other doped up actress and her has been of a mother. The film is filled with uncalled for cameos -- and two stiff performances by the two leading ladies. Especially Shirley MacLaine, who seems to think she is cute no matter how annoying she is. Dennis Quaid is quite good however.
