Unfortunately Terrible

Rating: 4/10 (2 February 2002)

I was unaware what to expect from this faux-musical, so I expected the worst. Tragically, I was proven right. While this film will not make my 10 Worst Films list, it's pretty close, and only Luhrmann's visually exciting direction kept me from leaving. If you're researching a paper on Luhrmann, this might be worth seeing; otherwise it serves as a stark reminder of why musicals went out of fashion so many years ago.
