Featured review
Mrs. Jenkins ended up having quite a fan base by the time of her passing. It wasn't because of her singing talent, it was because people saw in her the same qualities they hid within themselves: dashed hopes, failure, delusion and PASSION.
This lady loves music and loved performing. She had the means to finance her dreams. I'm sure that made a lot of people envious.
This film has some hilarious moments but also some quite touching ones. I think this film will reignite your love and admiration for the underdog. It might even make you feel better about yourself for doing it.
The other reviews calling it mental illness are bitter and harsh.
