Great music, great cast, great setting... uplifting

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2010)

If you feel sad and lonely and it's raining outside, this movie will do wonders for your mood just in the first thirty seconds. That's what it took to get me hooked and make me want to see it till the end.
Movies like these show that a straight male can enjoy films that don't involve people shooting at one another in the face. OK, when I saw James Bond I thought for a second that a speedboat chase could be in store for the ending.
But no, he just sang and dance like the rest of the crew, still keeping his 007 cool while swearing eternal love to Meryl with his hands in his pockets.
Of course a little campy and tacky, but what did you expect given the flashy style of the 70's band whose music it's based on?
Definitely recommendable.
8/10
