Never in 28 years as a movie-goer...

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2001)

Never in 28 years as a movie-goer have I heard a packed cinema stand and clap at the end of a film. What a feeling this movie generates, a visually spectacular (spectacular!) experience with a beautiful story line and a love to last the ages. The use of modern day songs and lyrics kept the audience amused and at the edge of their seat to see what song they could recognise next. And who knew that Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman could sing? These were the words whispered while filing out of the cinema by hundreds of movie goers through their now subsiding tears. The whole cast surely surprised and mesmerised alot of people with their seemingly unlimited talent but none more-so than Nicole and Ewan. This movie was beautiful in every way and I would strongly recommend it to all ages. I loved this film and believe if the promotion of it is right it may become of Sound of Music notoriety.
