A Review of The Spectacular Spectacular Film for the Ages!!!

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2001)

This film was more imaginative and vividly inventive than any I have ever seen. It is a feast for the eyes albeit a hyper-active one. Each scene is memorable and lavishly spectacular. The songs are easily recognizable and yet they are, in some cases, modified beyond belief. The acting and singing is magnificent, Nicole and Ewan can belt out tunes with the best of them. But most of all this film is romantic... it will appeal to lovers of TITANIC and those that loved the innocent romanticism of the Golden Age of musicals. Nicole is at her very best in a daring and powerful role... she is becoming a GREAT actress! Baz Luhrman follows up on his flamboyant reputation with a film that surpasses all his previous outings. This is the best film of the past two years and I LOVE IT for being over the top and romantic and beautiful and silly and charming and truthful. Oscar time is a long way off but this film WILL be remembered for sure.
Congratulations Nicole, Ewan, and Baz on a film that will be a classic.
