A shambles of great sets and terrible cliches

Rating: 7/10 (10 September 2001)

This film looks great - it is visually superb but I have to agree with many other viewers - some of the editing takes away from the dance scenes and everything tends to blur into a colourful mess. However sets aside the actual film is pretty weak - the singing is mediocre at best and the storyline is not exactly original. I didn't believe that there was this great love between Kidman and McGregor. Definitely one to see in the cinema but in terms of depth not much there.
