("Sid & Judy," a documentary airing on Showtime in October, also offers a fine companion to the movie, for those interested.) "I'm only Judy Garland for an hour a night," the former Frances Gumm laments at one point. Somehow, Zellweger manages to be Judy for a full two hours, delivering an over-the-rainbow performance in a movie that otherwise, on balance, is a bit more Kansas than Oz.
