If Kurt Cobain could back from the dead...

Rating: 3/10 (5 June 2001)

...He would shoot himself in the head again. This movie was absolutely the worst product I've seen come from the movie industry in a long time. Sure, it's pretty to look at sometimes, but please - the script was weak, the songs were lame and corny, and the acting okay. The reason the critics and audiences have "never seen anything like the Moulin Rouge" is because they haven't set foot in a live theatrical venue. This was a poor excuse for a movie. Why not just put it on a REAL stage, and let it flop in a week (because it was so horrible),instead of waiting for a year or two for it to be adapted to the growing theme park we call Broadway? I am so disappointed in this film because I am a huge fan of Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor and Baz Luhrman. Save your money - watch the trailer. And whatever you do, don't waste your money on the soundtrack. Blah.
