Wannabe singer Jo is looking for suitors, and her ex-fiance Slade is giving them the once-over to make sure they're suitable for her.

Bette Midler, as a brassy troop entertainer full of heart and voice, almost carries this film spanning 50 years through its thin formula plot and sludgy texture. But even she can't remedy the fact that there's not much chemistry between her and her partner, James Caan. (R; runs through July 31)
