"I Loved You In 'The Wizard Of Oz.' " An All-Star Cast Makes This A Home Run. What The..? MADONNA?!!! MAMMA MIA.
Based on a true story, this film is a crowd-pleasing hit. Boasting an all-star cast including Geena Davis, Rosie O'Donnell and-what the hell? MADONNA?-Yes, THAT Madonna. The singer is in rare form in her film debut. I wish she'd given up singing, and become a full-time actress (don't get me wrong; I like Madonna and her songs, but this film proves she can definitely act). Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rose O'Donnell, Jon Lovitz (in a hilarious cameo), Bill Pullman and ESPECIALLY Madonna do an excellent job in this thrilling movie. "There's no crying in baseball." The music (by Hans Zimmer) is brilliant. The directing is spot-on. Look for a brief appearance by Tea Leoni ("Deep Impact," "Jurassic Park III") and a rare on-screen appearance by Garry Marshall (director of "The Princess Diaries" and its sequel). The comedy meshes very well with the dramatic moments. Rated PG.
