What an awful movie... how do people watch this sellout trash?

Rating: 1/10 (28 January 2016)

This movie has nothing going for it. Even Andrews cant save it. The plot is ridiculous, the characters are unlikable, and the music is generic and tedious. This is no Mary Poppins or My Fair Lady. It is a cheap and lazy rip off written over a couple of bathroom breaks for the sake of capitalizing on musicals that were popularized by the former mentioned titles which came out a year prior.
On top of the benign writing and non-existent character development, some scenes were a laugh. The love interest between the eldest daughter and the 17 year old twit made my stomach turn, never mind the father who is basically a partially retarded copy of Mr. Banks from Mary Poppins.
There is nothing original in this film. Its not even historically accurate, not that this was a consideration in my review. But how this came to become so popular is a travesty. The music was especially bad, and mind numbing when listened to. I'd rather listen to modern rap than the soundtrack to this movie.
