Did it really have to come to this?

Rating: 3/10 (17 December 2018)

The plot is unrememberable (with unnecessary character side-plots), the songs unremarkable, and the charm and catchiness of the original film is well and truly gone. John Lithgow's Australian accent is woeful, not even getting to point of being so bad it is almost bearable. It is a sign of the weakness of the film when it is a musical that doesn't have any songs to remember.
