sorry, but this movie was awful

Rating: 1/10 (31 July 2007)

If I want to see overdone sets, awful acting, and unbelievably cheesy cover tunes woven into an overdone musical, I'll go see this movie. It's completely pretentious and without any sort of merit from an artistic standpoint.
Nicole Kidman is a square peg in a round hole in a musical, period. She's mediocre to begin with, overvalued as an actor in general, and horribly miscast in this movie. I couldn't even watch the movie. If I hadn't fallen asleep 3 times while trying to get through this horrible film, I'd want to throttle most of the actors for over acting. I realize I'm in the minority here, but anyone who thinks this movie is unique has never seen a decent Broadway musical.
This movie is Velveeta on Wonder Bread. I guess that's what the masses eat for lunch, so it figures that most people would like this. To me it it's a waste of good celluloid.
