I honestly can't say too specifically why this movie is awful because I only watched maybe 20 minutes before shutting it off. I love musicals and was looking forward to this after hearing all the hype. Big disappointment. From the beginning I was just bored senseless. and I got tired of trying to figure out the point of the story. I kept hoping it would get better but I finally decided life is too short to waste time on something this tiresome. Maybe someday when I'm feeling particularly masochistic I'll give it another shot.
