In a word, crap.

Rating: Null/10 (22 August 2001)

Trying to be as open minded about this 2 hour MTV style fantasy, within the first 10 minutes I could see what I was in for. And "Moulin Rouge" held true to it's overtly cheezy and glitzy tongue-in-cheek style. I'd get more fulfillment from watching MTV for two hours, and I wouldn't feel as if I was wasting my money on someone's cinematic wet dream. Nicole and Ewan's singing and acting was good. It's just too bad it had to be wasted in this wreck of a movie that is obviously trying to be original, but only succeeds in creating a period piece set somewhere between broadway and pop culture.
