It was different, and Ewan McGregor sang well.......but

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2002)

I would not recommend this film unless I knew that the person seeing it might be under 20 years of age and used to watching cartoons and Kung Fu movies.
The movie was an insult to great musicals and also it was demeaning to the memory of Toulouse-Lautrec, portraying him as if he were some sort of fool.
We only watched about one hour of the film before giving up on it.
There was only one pleasant surprise, the singing of Ewan McGregor.
We are both longing for a great American musical to come along again so today's generation can experience and know what REAL artistry is.
