I can't believe I watched the whole movie!

Rating: 1/10 (4 March 2002)

This movie is horrible. Yes, the songs are somewhat clever, the sets are beautiful, and John Leguizamo is excellent. But on the whole, this movie is not worth the $4 rental fee.
I sat through the whole thing waiting for it to get better, and hoping I could gain some insight into why it won a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination. No such luck on either front. The plot is weak and unimaginative. The chemistry between MacGregor and Kidman must be hiding behind the Elephant, because I couldn't see it.
My advice -- instead of watching this movie, listen to some Weird Al, visit a museum, and watch something else with John Leguizamo in it. I guarantee you'll get more out of the experience than you will from watching this movie.
