THE gay date movie

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2002)

Colourful. ***Contains reference to one scene***
Musical.
Whimsical.
Gay.
Those four words more or less sum up Moulin Rouge. If you're looking for a bleak existential commentary on the nature of the human condition or a man wielding a large calibre weapon and blowing s*** up, then you are out of luck. On the other hand, if you like musicals, Ewan MacGregor/Nicole Kidman, or the sight of Jim Broadbent singing "Like A Virgin" along with thirty goose-stepping waiters, this one's for you.
Essentially The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the new millennium. Insane, but fun if you have a mind to it. A serious film it is not. Watch it and make your mind up.
