No spoilers....

Okay now I know some of you musical lovers out there MAY have loved this movie. I am a musical lover myself and I would never watch it again. I admit it had beautiful cinematography and all such loveliness HOWEVER this alone will not make me enjoy a movie.

The movie was stocked with big name actresses who all sang in their rather trashy get ups (a.k.a. like the Moulin Rouge music video back in the day - Moulin Rouge I suggest you watch!) I realize that the trashy get ups fit with the movie plot, I'm just saying.....they were trashy. None the less I am not the type of person who writes off a movie because of something like that. I just can only handle so much.... a movie with a plot basis of a married film director who pretty much sleeps with every woman he comes in contact with is a bit much. Not only that but he and every woman in the movie (of course) sing about these escapades. Just a bit much for me. Daniel Day Lewis can sing I'll give ya that. Much more impressive than Pierce Brosnan in Mama Mia (Liked that movie too by the way). But I mean that's not saying much it's a musical and he was the main character - one would hope he could sing!!!

The actresses with their sometimes brief moments of lustful, seducing songs were decent I suppose. They could sing I guess but it was all just a bit much.

With that said.... if you would like to see a film about a man and a ton of woman who want to sleep with him and his poor wife who is heart broken by his trashy sleeping around then by all means to each their own. But in case it hasn't been obvious.... I wouldn't waste your time and money (even if it did only cost me $2).
