OVERRATED

Rating: 2/10 (20 March 2002)

I fail to see what all the fuss was over. The acting was above average, but the singing was poor. The plot in this movie is nothing new or to get excited over, it's just a retelling of a common tale of romance. The use of modern songs in the past might be what critics were so excited over, but these same critics condemned "A Knights Tale" for using a similar tactic, in the same year I might add. This movie was so boring my wife refused to watch it after the first 10 minutes, and it took me all 5 days of my rental to get through it. My friend also went through the same ritual, only this time he walked and his wife forced her way through it.
