Definitely a low in moviemaking

Rating: 1/10 (11 June 2001)

This movie ranks with the worst movies ever made. Frenetic movement, disjointed camera angles, song snippets, and goofy sets do not make a great movie. I'm not surprised that the MTV generation finds this compelling. It reminded me of nothing so much as the old Monkees' Saturday Morning TV show--except that the plot of Camille was thrown in and the action was speeded up. You could say, the Monkees on acid would be a fair description.
The slapstick comedy was boring, the acting abysmal, the plot made no sense, the sets looked like a second rate Disney animated film. Let's see, take a compilation album commercial for pop love songs, add a Laurel & Hardy Film, a high school production of Camille, the Blair Witch cameraman, "It's a small world" Disney Theme Park Ride, throw it in a blender, crank up the speed and add some acid. Then you would have the Moulin Rouge!
