A musical of a different color

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2006)

I must say that I never saw this movie when it was in theaters but it was on demand last night so being bored i decided to order it and watch. It was brilliantly done but I can see where the negative reviews come from. The camera spins and created dizzying shots in which colors and shapes blend with pop songs such as Like a Virgin and Diamonds are a girls best friend. I would still suggest seeing it because I have seen nothing like it.....as some mentioned earlier it would probably be a good spring board for getting someone into musical film and theater. On a side note, I had no idea that Ewan McGregor could sing so well nor Nicole Kidman for that matter, they alone make it worth enduring the film.
