MUSICALS - THE PRODUCERS(2005)
Who knew Matthew Broderick could dance?? And he
really isn't that bad of a singer!! He and Nathan
Lane star in this movie about two dudes trying to
produce the perfect flop!! Kinda long, but good enough
to hold your attention, with a considerable amount of
humor, along with the singing and dancing! Worth the
time to watch! And make sure you watch after the ending
credits roll!! B+
From IMDb.com:
What a weird journey 'The Producers' has had. First a film,
then a musical, then this, a film based on the musical.
At the centre though is the ultimate bad taste musical, with
some very catchy songs and some sharp lines.
Are Broderick and Lane a good team on screen? Of course.
They more than carry some of the slower points of the
film/musical and play their parts with apparent ease.
I wasn't as keen on Will Ferrell (at the peak of his powers
when this was made) or Uma Thurman, but they are really
just two in a long line of oddballs that pop up in this film.
I enjoyed it, probably when I shouldn't. - studioAT
