My sister and I were children when this movie was released. We loved it... one of the few movies we both cherished and is forever one of our childhood memories... not sure this movie deserves such horrible ratings.

While I am unable to defend my affections, but I really enjoy this movie. Carol Kane's musical number is not to be missed. Hey! I guess that is a partial defense.

So as you can see, you have Diane Keaton, Carol Kane and some other woman I've never heard of. Aidan Quinn, Ruben Blades, Elliot Gould and a bit part from Nathan Lane. That's a lot of talent in the cast, so why was the film so boring? And the plot so soap opera-ish? It will probably enrage you seeing these women blow $100,000 seemingly at will at points in this movie, or when they 'sing' at points. I wasn't sure if it was other people doing the singing, or just god awful dubbing. The cast is likable enough, but the movie is just pointless overall. Characters literally fight and make-up with each other in only a few seconds apart. Everything feels fake about this story. What a waste of a great cast.

[img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/statusicon/forum_old.gif[/img][i][b]The Lemon Sisters is completely disappointing and absolutely dull. The only reasons the film didn't get 0 are: the parts where the lemon sisters were little and the last act of Carol Kane when she made a catastrophe at the bar she sang. Diane Keaton is overacted, the other sister is insufferable, the screenplay is silly and bad written, fails in involving the spectator. The covers aren't exciting, I mean those women are not singers!!!.[/b][/i]

I consider myself the only person in the Western hemisphere to like The Lemon Sisters, and yet I must abstain from recommending it. [Full review in Spanish]
