Well I finally got around to rewatching this Oscar winning movie. When I first saw it years ago, I hated it. Which is weird, because I love pretty much all musicals, even the super corny ones. But watching it this many years later, I can see why it won the Oscar.
It is a fun and sexy musical. The acting is phenomenal, especially by Catherine Zeta Jones and Jon C. Reilly. Renee Zellweger still looks like Renee Zellweger, and she does a good job as the lead of the movie. And they all have better singing voices than I thought would be the case. Of course Queen Latifah rocked it, but Zeta Jones knocked her songs out of the park. After a semi-weak performance during this past week at the Oscars, I wasn't quite sure how her singing and dancing would be, but it was wonderful. Great choreography, cool staging. It is just a solid movie all around, and a great musical to add to the list of mediocre ones.
