Definitely interesting but it didn't make a big impression.

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2003)

The biggest problem I had with this movie was that the music was not original. I mean, with the amount of money they spent making the film they could have bought some pre-written score or something rather than just take snippets of music from say, Elton John and the Sound of Music.
**Possible Spoilers** I don't have any problem with the stars - the two leads have rather nice voices actually. But the plot? I'm sorry, maybe I'm a purist but the whole prostitute thing AND consumption - not an attractive concept.
So, although the music isn't original and sometimes the characters get on my nerves, see it if you want to. I mean, don't buy it unless you've seen it. I'd give it a 6/10. If you like the concept of Moulin Rouge, see Chicago (2002), it's a lot better.
