So we decided to not let our sleep challenged toddler determine our success, we just watched it as a family, after official bedtime, but probably before she would have actually been asleep.
A brain dump of thoughts -The opening sequence is a flyover shot of New York, and although it is hardly an episode of Law and Order, its pretty cool. We are 30 seconds in and I can already tell my husband is going to hate it. Laughing at the ridiculous sub-titles. 10 minutes in and I am predicting its the original Dream Girls. Gee, they show more leg in 1929 than I thought they would. Its making me appreciate how good the other 2 old movies we have watched are. Am I ever going to get this 2 hours of my life back. Quote of the night "Id rather watch the Olsen twins - that's who they remind me of, terrible acting included". When you take a break from watching a movie to voluntarily put on a load of washing you know something is wrong. Oh look Eric Bana is on Top Gear, lets watch that for a minute. Back to it and husband makes me double check we are watching the right movie. Did this win an Oscar or a Razzie? I love musicals. 2 year old 'reading' the Very Hungry Caterpillar is not at all distracting. Oh, its getting better now, hang on, I'm just getting excited we are near the end. Every scene is 10 times longer than it needs to be. Okay, its winding up, I guess that ending is nice. Poor Hank.
Here is a link for those of you playing at home - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Broadway_Melody
It adequately describes the story line.
That's about as much time as I'd like to dedicate to this movie.
Next movie - Cimarron. I have no idea what it is, so stay tuned.
