And again ...

Rating: 7/10 (7 August 2008)

I'm referring to the musical numbers in this picture (yes I knew before I went to watch it, that it would be a musical, but the sheer amount of songs, weren't that apparent in the trailer). The best song is being shown in the trailer by the way (at least I think it's the best by far).
Having said that and reminding everyone, that I'm not the biggest musical fan, hence the fact, that I hadn't heard of the (broadway?) musical before, nor have I seen any other movie adaptations (there seem to be quite a few, as listed here at IMDb), the movie wins me over by it's story (Love/Drama) and by the fact that it "takes no prisoners". Let me remind you, for those who haven't read much about the movie, that this is a "bloody" affair (literally). If that shocks you, the fact that Sasch Baron Cohen (aka Borat/Ali G) plays and sings in this movie and delivers, might surprise you as well! Fewer musical numbers and I would have adored it
