A show-off poser film

Rating: 5/10 (10 November 2004)

This is the kind of film that you may very much like when you first watch it, as one may get carried away with the bright lights, fancy costumes and model actors, but if you have any depth, whatsoever, you'll soon change your mind after you've seen this film at least twice and realise that beyond the colourful, superficial glamorous surface of this film, that it is nothing but a load of shallow nonsense. Although this film had spectacular lighting, good choreography and most of all, great talented acting, this film had no proper storyline. Although, Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman were the perfect people to act in this film, as they are both incredibly talented actors (ie.Singing and Dancing) I found this film completely fake and hollow. The reason why some people may enjoy this film is because they have mistaken this film for what they believe is sophisticated culture, but in actual fact, isn't. In my opinion, this film is a hyped-up, over rated chick-flick, and if thats your type of film, than watch it, if not, don't bother.
