Only Baz Luhrmann can successfully create a motion picture, musical hit starring some of Hollywood's "in" and "out" - but all notable faces/ able to eccentrically contrive a fast pace wave to Elton John's "This is Your Song" as well as other house hold names/ while showing off a magically engineered theatrical/ comical/ one-of-a-kind setting.
This narrated, snippet storytelling mirrors that of Jack Lemmon in Irma La Douce and tangled with Morgan Freeman in Shawshank - but of course, with more finesse required in such a production.
One thing all critics CAN agree is that your full-attention is necessary in order to stay with the fast paced, outlandishly, adult humored picture.
Keep in mind, what I can claim, is that the main actors sang themselves- all too evident with Ewan McGreggor

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
