Title: Difficult to translate musical thater to film
Product review: I saw the original Broadway production both in previews and through several cast changes and loved it. The movie was fun but I think it's almost impossible to catch the flavor and fun that live theater presents, especially since a good performance is enhanced and energized by audience appreciation and feedback. That being said, this is an enjoyable film aside from the lackluster performance by Uma Thurman. No offense but she's no Cady Huffman. Will Ferrell was good but Brad Oscar could have shone in this movie. I was very happy to see that Roger Bart, who is a favorite of mine was included in the film as well as Gary Beach. I enjoyed the outtakes and will watch this again, I'm sure. Enjoy this movie but try to see it live if you ever get the opportunity.
