If you know anything about music, you will hate this movie

Rating: 2/10 (3 April 2010)

The worst thing about this movie is that it had the potential to be great. Yes it is an oliver twist remake, but the musical element of it should have been fantastic. A lot of research was clearly overlooked by this director who missed the point completely. We want to see somebody rise up to talent or achievement not just have it for no reason. My summary, if you know anything about music you will hate this film. It starts off great and then rots for as long as you can endure it. On the plus side, there is a wonderful version of Van Morrison's moondance. WHich if you're able to look past the witless one night stand romance that leads to the female character getting knocked up on a roof, you may actually enjoy.
