MOULIN ROUGE: MOVIE GRADE: **1/2 out of **** BAD MOVIE GRADE: ***1/2 out of ****
Moulin Rouge is one of the funniest movies of the year. Ignore everyone who says it's "stunning, beautiful, well acted". This is nothing more than a hilarious expensive B-Movie. The acting (Especially by Leguizamo) is so over the top that you just can't help but laugh. The lines are so dumb that it's hilarious whenever somebody says them. Just about anything Jim Broadbent said had me in stitches for days. Just about the only thing that is intentionally good is the singing. Ewan and Nicole can really sing well. Though I worry about Baz Luhrmann. He shows a midget in a bikini 3 times, an extreme close-up of John Leguizamo in clown make-up, and fat guys doing cart-wheels. I hope he's just joshing us and that MR is one big hilarious joke. So don't go in expecting something thought-provoking. Go in expecting the funniest musical parody since South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut.
