This musical may be sassy and vibrant but it's nothing but a filmed version of a stage show. The characters are nicely cynical and there's plenty to look at, but everything is weighed down by the boring tunes which leave no space for dialogue. Nevertheless, the film won six Oscars, which include Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress (Catherine Zeta-Jones).
