It is spectacularly bad and IIRC Meryl Streep was nominated for an Oscar for it.

Strange times, strange times.

That said, Stellan Skaarsgaaarrrrddd is a hot scandi pepaw and I'd take him over Aleksander ANY DAY.

"Brosnan, especially, was savaged by many critics: his singing was compared to "a water buffalo", "a donkey braying" and "a wounded raccoon", and Matt Brunson of Creative Loafing Charlotte said he "looks physically pained choking out the lyrics, as if he's being subjected to a prostate exam just outside of the camera's eye."

Squoosh Grin yy to Mediterranean leprechaun.

It's one of those films that laydeez are meant to like but are rubbish. I remember reading many times that people's favourite film was Breakfast At Tiffanys so I excitedly bought the DVD and it was utter shite. Such a disappointment.

Yanbu. It is totally unwatchable. My dd and her friends loved it when they were about 10 - nuff said.

I hated it. I actually couldn't believe what I was seeing!

In 1982 I (with my sister) got hold of the 'Super trooper' album, and made an entire play round it!

I was 10/11.
This tripe was the same , only with adults Shock

Oh god I wish I'd seen this thread two hours ago :(

Just wasted my evening watching it waiting for it to get good, seeing as everyone raved about it and I get Shock faces whenever I mention I haven't seen it.

What a load of wank.

but I'd still do Brosnan...provided the volume was off

The only decent musical is The Slipper and The Rose.

It is awful and the irony that because its set in a beautiful hot country that's its ok for her to not know who the father of her daughter is isn't lost on me! If it was set in the uk it would be a docudrama and we'd all be calling her a bit of a slut! Grin

Grease? What's not to love? I was 9 when it came out and it was just the best thing ever. At least they sang in tune and could act...unlike that wank fest MM that has just finished...

Grease is so depressing, gives me the serious blues. Sophie's Choice is less grim.

So glad there are some like minded people, it's fucking awful. I couldn't believe how bad it was when I watched it. To the point of cringeworthy.
I thought maybe I was missing something in my genetic make-up as everybody else seemed to love it.

It is the cheesiest thing I have ever watched, but I kinda appreciated it for being a bit silly and eventually got into it and enjoyed it. I think it was massively overrated though.

girlwith I adored Les Miserables film musical... I literally looked like Shock when I read your comment xD
