This is why I go to the movies

Rating: 9/10 (8 July 2001)

A tremendous love story; the best production value the movie industry has to offer; a consistent, unique style, which was campy and romantic without being particularly trite; superb acting (and singing!) by a dazzling Nicole Kidman and a beautiful, sincere Ewan McGregor; a self-assured sense of story that didn't feel the need to explain, or cover, or be sly; and the music!
Walking out of the theater, the only problem I expected most folks to have is if the movie did a cover of a song that they had a personal attachment to; as for me, I felt the movie was simply one song too long. But the ending was brilliant.
Go see it, relax, and enjoy!
