Far less then it should have been

Rating: 1/10 (26 August 2008)

I loved the stage versions and went to the movie thinking it would be better with the expanded options available to cinema. Boy was I wrong! This movie was simply awful. You know that the editing is bad when you notice the editing. Most scenes with musical numbers were very choppy.
Love Meryl to death but she CANNOT sing. Seriously not at all! and was, sadly, one of the best singers in the movie.
At the showing I attended the only laughs from the audience came every time Pierce tried to sing.
They should have spent less money on big name stars and used it for a real director and some decent production values.
