It was a good movie as a whole but you could definitely tell that the actors and actresses were out of their element when it came to singing. It seemed sorta half assed in some songs like to compare a musical like Chicago to Mamma Mia, Chicago seemed more prepared and well casted for singers with live performance training, unlike Mamma Mia which lacked. The actress that played Sophia was well put together but everyone else was just everywhere. If you saw the live play, the movie wouldn't be so spectacular, because there are most definitely some big shoes to fill for this musical. For the average joe, it would be a 5, but for the real musical theatrical person who knows this business would gi
Total crap!!!!
mildly entertaining, and the songs sure are fun, but the casting and the horrible direction make it difficult to give higher than 3 - Meryl Streep has one good song in The Winner Takes it All, but struggles with the rest of the selections, and Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan should have switched roles, as Mr. Brosnan simply cannot sing. The casting of the young daughter was excellent. You might enjoy this if you didn't see it onstage - otherwise, be prepared for a serious letdown.
amazingly the story goes well with the songs. i have seen it twice and each time the seats in the theater were full.
Great entertainment, terrific actors but a tad too long
Musicals shouldn't be made in to movies.
This was so enjoyable....I like it more than the musical. The parts were so well played. Going back in a couple of days to see it again.
i loved it it had singing and romance it was great!
