Props to them for making it and turning it into a big hit and getting all those Oscars. It's cast well enough - stronger in the support than the leads, though it's super fun to see people singing and dancing. Richard Gere has a good time but I wish John Travolta had played the part. Rene Zellweger and Catherine Zeta Jones can't be faulted... I was just kind of hoping for... I don't know, better stars or something.
Lots of rapid cross cutting. Lacked emotional pull for me. A lot of the time I was thinking "this would be better on stage".
Terrific songs. Cell Block Tango is my favourite. It's hilarious there was a big hit musical about murdering husbands.
