I liked it the first couple of times, but DD has since become obsessed with it and after the millionth viewing, I can no longer stand it!!

DD is trying to persuade me to take her to see Smurfs 2.
Over my dead fucking body....

YANBU (I think, but I've never got further than the first 10 minutes and that was like torture)

The woman who plays Sophie is a good singer, the rest sound like cats with their tails trapped in a window.

Meryl Streep is caterwauling again.
If she doesn't stop I'm staging a dirty protest...

YANBU it's a soppy, saccharine, singy, snoozefest.

Considering the calibre of some of the actors in it Meryl Streep, Stellan Skarsgard, Julie Walters, Colin Firth......................those must have been some big fat cheques that they waved at them.

I like plenty of crappy films myself (Three Men and a Baby anyone?) but am baffled how this hogwash became one of the highest grossing films of that year.

Thank fuck. I thought I was the only person in the world who hated every millimetre of this 'musical', stage or (especially) screen version.

YADNBU.

All musicals, aside from Oliver, are shite.

YABU.

Yes, it's utter piffle; agree no one can sing tunefully; it's schmaltzy and camp. BUT it is totally wonderful, escapist nonsense in which the cast look as though they are loving every second SmileGrin

The Dominic actor guy is so not fit, he looks like a Mediterranean leprechaun.

Hate the film, love the songs when they are performed by the original artists.
I agree with those posters who say all musicals are shit. Unless Dirty dancing and Flashdance count as musicals (I don't know, there's a lot of music in them)

Grease is the only decent musical.
