Good if you like this kind of thing.

Rating: 6/10 (11 February 2002)

I must admit that this is not my kind of movie. It seemed to be inventive and fast moving and had lots of nice songs but I guess I was wanting a little more story and less extravaganza. Jim Broadbent, Ewan McGregor and John Leguizamo were very good. I must admit another bias, I cannot stand Nicole Kidman. I think her acting is egocentric hamming. I think she was miscast and the movie suffered because of her. Other problems were too quick MTVish shots and the penchant of the cast to yell their lines. It was a bold movie clearly taking a chance with an odd way of telling the story and was, my biases aside, successful.
