So I think to myself, is this supposed to be about a woman imprisoned and trying to prove her innocence, or a bunch of bad singing and sexual immorality? Or, a movie that's about the glorification of women killing man and saying it's okay?
There are plenty of good movies about Germany's slide into the Third Reich [...] and a piece of crap about some girlie bar holds no emotion, no point, and no actual value.
Who is this movie for? People who like musicals will hate the blood. People who like slasher flicks will hate the music. People who like Sondheim will hate the reduced score and the inadequate singing voices. And the teeny boppers who like Johnny Depp will be traumatized for life.
This noisy chick flick made a lot of money at the box office, but it's really not that good. Most of the songs suck and it gets real tiresome waiting for the father and the nun to finally do each other.
The whole race issue was stupid too. Yeah right like they would respond by dancing happily and not be upset. How absolutely absurd.
There was also a siege going on in Paris in 1870-1871. They were eating the animals at the zoo. There was no emotion from any of the characters. They acted as if they were reading a bus schedule or the yellow pages.
The lack of spoken dialogue really detracted from many of the scenes. When even the most mundane of sentences has to be delivered in such a way, it becomes grating. I wouldn't have been at all surprised for someone to bellow out 'pass the saaaaaalt'. It was just awful.
There was not a single scene in this movie that did not resemble a drug-induced experience. I wept with tears of pain from start to finish.
[...] the girl is giving up her virginity so a boy will like her. it's a stupid message. it's not at all about love. west side story is far better and natalie wood isn't even hispanic.
An absolutely awful rip-off of 'Oliver!' with a talentless and unattractive girl in the title role, wearing an horrific ginger wig.
Forgive me, was that a song by a girlfriend beating, sadistic dentist on a motorcycle to a catchy Elvis tune supposed to be funny? How about one pushing a grandma off a cliff to a Lady GaGa tune?
Hideous songs, as well. A group of old men singing to a child about about established credit, dividends and shares, seriously! Horrendous!
Well dressed teens hanging around a playground. If they were so bored--- get a job. The Sharks complaining about how badly they were treated in 'America.' OK-- what were they doing to improve their situation? Gang fighting?
I've never seen a hippie beg for money. The point was to be self-sufficient outside the capitalist system, not beg from it.
It is about a bunch of silly British people that colonize [...] a beautiful Greek island Without even trying to speak a word of Greek, they manage an hotel for British tourists. (hope the credit crunch ruined them).
Starving boys who have enough energy to sing and dance in the workhouse? The poor of London coming out to sing? [...] Not exactly faithful to the novel.
The little town with all those children was actually played by grown men. It's stupid to think we'll believe they're children. Another thing I hated was that it's telling a story about four people, and three of them aren't even real. One is a bear, one is a scarecrow and one is a robot.
If you enjoy having an emaciated, bad acting, sack of bones screech out her vowels whilst an effeminate, pedantic, pretentious mama's boy trains her to resemble a walking drapery; hey, congratulations you have found your movie.
Ironically, I would've been Bohemian-ish (at least somewhat) at the time this was set and I would've have nothing but contempt for a group of pretentious slacker junkies who couldn't be bothered to do SOMETHING to support themselves ethically.
[...] people bursting into cheesy, pointless songs, with ridiculous, goofy expressions on their faces while doing slapstick dance routines that make you want to cringe with embarrassment.
