A MUDDLED MESS

Rating: 2/10 (3 January 2002)

This is two movies. The first is a muddled, MTV musical and the second is a musical love story. The first stinks, the second is very good.

Unfortunately, you have to sit through the almost intolerable first half to get to the good stuff, and no movie that starts so poorly ever ends well. It's small wonder that many people walked out on this movie.

I can see why Nicole Kidman is being talked about for an Oscar for this performance, especially if she did her own singing. I think Tom Cruise must be crazy.
I can't recommend this film for any reason.
