Oh, no.

Rating: 4/10 (25 July 2002)

Maybe Nicole Kidman should have been a singer. She had a beautiful voice, unfortunately, she has no business in front of a camera. Aside from the music, which I honestly believed was spectacular, nothing about this movie struck me as a trait of an earth-shattering masterpiece as it's made out to be. All my friends told me how incerdable it was, however, after having watched it, the only reason they or anyone liked it that I can think of is that they're astounded by colors. Plain and simple, the movie is a jumbled mess of colors swirling around the screen while beautiful music plays in the background. None of the acting is in the least bit redeeming, and sometimes downright embarrassing, the cinematography is often too dizzying to watch, and there is not a single unpredictable plot twist or intended laugh. My friends all cried at the end I was practically shouting that we knew it was going to happen for the past three hours for in the opening scene, we are informed that the woman Christian loved is dead. I didn't spend my four bucks to know what happens five minutes into my movie. Please, Blockbuster, give me my money back, please?
