See this movie in the theater so you can get the full effect.

Rating: 7/10 (4 June 2001)

The first half hour or so of this movie is completely amazing!! My date and I both had huge idiotic grins on our faces- my cheeks actually started to hurt from smiling so much. The fast pace of the movie, the jumpy camera work, and the vibrant colors were stunning. I really enjoyed the fast dialogue, the clever musical numbers, and the way crazy characters would pop up from random places. That being said, when the movie calmed down towards the end it lost most of its charm. It went from being overpowering and engaging to sappy and predictable. The finale was a letdown: not because of the tragic ending to the love story but because it lacked the intensity that the beginning of the movie led you to expect.
