A silly mess!

Rating: 2/10 (31 March 2002)

Take a silly story, shallow characters, bad singers, and much too much on-screen clutter, mix with some modern ditties, and you get the mess that is Moulin Rouge. Instead of developed characters and story, we just get a lot of flashy imagery, which at times was amusing, but mostly just gave me a headache. Perhaps if I cared one iota about the shallow, silly characters and their superficial troubles, I would have liked it more.
