Enjoyable musical but......

Rating: 7/10 (28 August 2000)

Although this is one of the better translations from stage to screen it still suffers from the curse of the movie musical. Some of the better (funnier) musical numbers have been left out of the film. A visually stunning film that carries the basic story line form stage to screen, there is just something missing as far as the overall musical is concerned. Leaving out the number done by Max and the Baroness is akin to leaving "I'm Calm" out of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum". It leaves a hole in the whole.
