With screen talent like Streep, MacLaine, Hackman, Quaid, and Mike Nichols directing, this should have been so much better. Unfortunately, despite some very solid elements the final result is disappointing. There's just not enough bite to this story, all the edges seem to be rounded off and polished smooth, leaving the viewer with nothing to really bite into. Streep, MacLaine, Hackman, and Quaid are all solid and fun, but that's all there is to Postcards from the Edge.
