The worst movie-going experience of my life.

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2007)

Excellence in crassness, in vapidity, in editing that destroys what were apparently quite good dance sequences ... Yes, I voted it as excellent in the hope that this comment wouldn't be down on the tenth page where all the no star reviews are stored. This film is the most nauseous mess I have ever seen. Migraine inducing visuals, absurd musical choices, actors chewing the scenery while singing hammed-up versions of "The Sound of Music".
Now, to be fair, I've never seen the film in its entirety, but I have tried to see it through three times to understand why some people love it ... and failed ... I can't make it to the end. The noisy, garish, tasteless assault defeats me every time. The only successful performance in the film is by Nicole Kidman's porcelain epidermis. Dancers of the calibre of Caroline O'Connor must have been furious at the way their performances were hatcheted.
There was a movie in there somewhere Baz, but you couldn't find it, so you drowned it in treacle. Lovers of this film are masochists or boneheads.
