Overrated to the extreme

Rating: 4/10 (19 May 2004)

What was the point of this movie again? I am not fond of musicals but maybe I would have looked with a better eye if they had at least wrote their own music not just using songs everyone has heard or actually finding some actors who can sing. Plot? Who needs it, it's a movie about love! Who cares if we know the ending after the first 5 minutes? Acting? What's that? Only Kidman and the guy who played the Duke were good with Ewan McGregor being totally pathetic (not that the script helped him one bit but still). The camera rotated quickly around the characters so many times that I wanted to kill the one who came up with that ridiculous idea. A waste of time and money even if you are a big fan of Nicole Kidman like me.
