Query: Horrible

Hard to believe this mess was so highly regarded back in the 70s when it first appeared. Midler is very unattractive by today's standards and the plot here, such as it is, is very standard fare. Modeled on the Janis Joplin story, it completely misses the mark, and the music isn't even close to anything Joplin herself did. Interesting as a period piece that has not held up.
