    Daniel Day-Lewis IS the Maestro of actors. This movie is BIG - I guess vibrant is a good word to describe it. Penelope Cruz is lovely in lingerie, Dame Judi Dench, not so much - ha !

    The only saving grace is Fergie's performance. Actually, it starts off okay then dies a slow death starting with Sophia Loren's number

    Oh, I wanted so badly to love this movie. Fishnets, dancing, musical numbers, Italy, Rob Marshall, a cast of marvelous women... Instead I left the theater feeling unsatisfied, like eating an expensive meal that was just *meh*. The music and lyrics were overly simplistic and insip...( read more)id, and Marshall's trick of blending musical numbers into the main storyline (which was seamless in "Chicago") just didn't work here, leaving everything bumpy and lumpy. Daniel Day-Lewis's character Guido was also entirely unloveable. If you're not going to create a character that has the theater rooting for redemption, where does that leave the audience?

    The saving graces... Gorgeous Marion Cotillard stole the show for me as Guido's graceful and intelligent wife, and showed her performing chops in both a heartfelt ballad and saucy striptease. Penelope Cruz also left everyone panting with her sexified romp of ropes and peekaboo tulle gloves. I also loved Judi Dench's performance (as always), and snippets of choreography here and there (the big sandy chair dance number, for one). I guess what I'm saying here is this movie succeeds as a series of music videos and a showcase of beautiful faces, and not much else.

    At one point this year this was the hands down BEST movie I'd seen! Still ranks in the top five. This will be added to my collection.

    Such a great depiction of the power of love. When I get married I want the support of my wife behind me before I even think of beginning a life altering body of work. Rob Marshall captures this well with these characters.

    I want to see the original Fellini film this was based o...( read more)ff of, not to mention the broadway musical the film was made into. I heard it took awhile for that theater production to make it to the big screen, but that's Hollywood for you.

    I was working the American Film Market as an usher and got to catch some glimpses of this year's award running films. So I caught some of the beginning of this one and the ending scene. From the little that I caught I was shaking walking out of the theater in awe of how amazed and moved I was. So I just had to see this film.

    I understood the purpose of Stacey Ferguson's character but I didn't see an overall need for her. The story could've survived without her and her big musical number like the rest of the lead female cast received. Kate Hudson's character could've been cut as well but I enjoyed her performance as an actress as well as a singer. Her song was totally catered to the lead, Danny Day, however I didn't see the burning need to keep her or keep that vital essence to the story alive.

    But I guess you need side bar stories intertwined with the main one and not be so black and white with your presentation, show some color and liven it up a bit. So to me, this is why Kate Hudson was "needed" in this story. But I didn't really see this for Fergie's character. They could've fulfilled this "liven it up a bit" concept by expanding Kate's contribution to the story and just taken out Fergie.

    Yet, there was so much quality in this, not just choreography because it's a musical. But because Rob focused on just telling the story and letting the music arise on its own. I didn't get that feeling I would get whenever I would watch a musical; that, "Oh gosh he's going to randomly break into song" feeling. Any good musical, in my opinion, needs this aspect because as a filmmaker you'll bring in more moviegoers that aren't really fans of this genre.

    This is how Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd transformed me from a despiser to an avid lover of this genre. If I'd seen this prior to Sweeney, I'd probably change as well. Not just because of the sexuality, one way to get your young male audience into the movie theater, but because of the story and how good it's told. That's the universal key to good filmmaking, which this is.

    Rob Marshall already destroyed Chicago, I see no point in allowing him to rip apart and restitch more musicals that were fantastic on the stage.
