I had the same thoughts as you. Why bother? However, I thought the title song if generic was catchy and TDF sealed the deal for me.
Although I have some criticisms, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Sad as this is to say, as time passes fewer and fewer people have heard of the movie. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that Tootsie and Mrs Doubtfire are better known 'oldies.' Marketing needs to explain why one needs to see this and I don't think that they've accomplished that. It's jazzy and it's fun? I could see my favorite reality tv star in Chicago if I want that. Men in women's clothes? Been there, done that. Perhaps more emphasis on the comedy and the splashy numbers could get people in who could get that word of mouth going.
I am sorry to see a decent musical struggle when I think that the audience is out there....somewhere. |
