Absolutely awful!

Rating: 1/10 (15 September 2006)

I cringed throughout this film. How on earth could it have been made? Who could possibly enthuse about it? The cast looked as embarrassed as I felt for them.
God preserve us from Hollywood plundering the past; from unoriginality, from remakes and from travesties such as this! Bury it please in a deep hole.
Unfortunately I was on a flight somewhere when this film was aired. I survived merely by the expedient of disconnecting the headphones.
Anyone ever see the British TV sitcom "Goodnight Sweetheart" starring Nicholas Lyndhurst? Well - it was pretty much like that; 'modern' songs reused in an historical backdrop. It doesn't work. Ever. m No disrespect to Mr Lyndhurst and his writers: the plot of the TV series is somehow explicable and works - in a way. "Moulin Rouge" doesn't. Full stop. End of story.
