Trapped in a cruise ship cabaret show about love.

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2001)

This is about the worst movie I've ever seen. It was like being trapped on a cruise ship and forced to watch one of their awful cabaret shows where everybody is singing at you constantly. Moreover, all of the songs, the story and everything else in the movie is about love. It is highly repetitious and overly sappy. It makes an obvious and weak attempt to pull you down emotionally and then lift you back up. It never worked for me. The plot was too transparent, and it happened in microcosmic waves that repeatedly hit you in the face over and over again to the point where you can no longer stand Elton John's wonderful song, "You're Song"--or whatever it's called. Apart from a few mildly humorous moments and the sight of Nicole Kidman (better to see Eyes Wide Shut for that) the movie was greatly disappointing.
