A flashy musical with songs from my generation (boy, saying that makes me feel old...) - I really enjoyed it. I also found it fun to watch Ewan McGregor evolve from the looking-to-score drug addict in Trainspotting to the lead vocalist in a full blown musical, and fun to watch John Leguizamo who I recognize as Dr. Clemente from ER transformed into "a dwarf dressed as a nun" dropping through a ceiling, and fun to watch Nicole Kidman...(nuf said).
The song that sticks the most in my brain is the overlay of Roxanne with something else - the force of the vocals matched with the visuals makes for a memorable scene.
Anyway, good flick, I recommend.
Online review.
