Wow.... A Ten... A F***ing TEN!

You've really got to be open minded for this one. You can't walk in expecting a Christina Aguilera-filled extravaganza of contemporary music in the background of the scenary of 100 years ago (A Knight's Tale...that was a stinker). You also can't expect a mildly updated version of old love story.

I was really impressed by the classy (for the most part) implementation of songs we all know and love into a 19th century Paris atmosphere. It was more a musical than a music video. I'm glad to see that musicals aren't completely dead. The voices were very good, the acting was good, and I enjoyed the plot. I've heard complaints about the simple plot I don't think it's fair to complain about the nearly instant love between our 2 main characters because authors have been pulling that crap forever (e.g. Romeo and Juliet). The movie was about the visuals, the vocals, and the undying love. Who cares if it's not 100% realistic?
I Loved it.
