Opulent and toe tappin'!

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2001)

I loved this movie. It was visually stunning - well worth seeing on the big screen or you'll miss some of the loveliness and glitter. It made me want to dance in my seat. Interesting renderings of some very familiar popular tunes. Ewan McGregor was adorable in this film. Nicole Kidman was beautiful as always. If you like dancing and singing and eye candy, you'll love this.

One caution: if you don't like those old Hollywood musicals where the plot is just basically an excuse for a lot of singing and dancing to occur, and wouldn't like them with updated music, either, then don't see it. I happen to love those movies and wish they were made more often these days. I'd compare it to "Hair" or "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" for being a fun musical with modern music.
