Ewan's cute, but...

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 2004)

I liked parts of this movie but primarily it was an overprocessed Biggest Hits video. Nicole, a la Audrey Hepburn, can't sing a note but was apparently chosen for star appeal, and is miscast-this role calls for someone voluptuous, exotic, eccentric, and she looks like a dressed-up Barbie doll. Ewan McGregor does a fairly good job with a weak part (his character must be one of the dumbest human beings on earth). Jim Broadbent was very good as were some of the other supporting cast. However, when someone is dying of TB-it's called consumption for a reason-they can't usually spend their last few minutes dancing and singing under hot lights. I hate movies that do crap like that. Really kind of ruined the whole thing for me. If they wanted her to die, why not just push her over the balcony?
