I just saw Meryl Streep's latest: "PLENTY". I feel frustrated and like I've missed something along the way, but the whole show seemed to drag along, the different periods shown didn't relate to each other, and at the movie's end I was left with a feeling of "What was the point?" Has anyone else who's seen PLENTY seen more in it than I? Jennifer Longstaff ihnp4!sdcsvax!bmcg!asgb!jkl Burroughs, Boulder CO.

I also saw this and thought it was disjointed and slow.

I was left with a feeling of "What was the point?" I really don't know what the critics see in it. Meryl Streep may be a good actress, but the "plot" seemed to be non-existent. The trick is to wait until it's on cable. That way, you can switch it off after the first 10 minutes. -- Alan Steinberg {ucbvax}!decwrl!amdcad!cae780!alan Hey, Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat! Again??? Nothing up my sleeve...

The characters had nothing to do with any reality I've ever come in contact with. And Meryl Streep ought to go to passion school or meet an Italian lover or something. She's got about as much life in her as a bowl of oatmeal. still yawning--- don
