Fan-freakin'-tastic!
I'm sorry, but I love this movie with every fiber of my being.
What a strange way to start a review, huh? Moulin Rouge is not for everyone. I've heard of several people who got completely lost while watching this flick. I love the musical aspect the most, I think. This movie is set in the late 1800's, but has no shame in including music that didn't come out until almost a century later.
Ewan McGregor is marvelous as the playwrite and I absolutely fell in love with the burlesque type of atmosphere. Of course I couldn't resist the charm of McGregor as he sang the Elton John hit "Your song".
It's a fun movie that does have some depth and great characters including John Leguizamo. I definately recommend renting this one...as for me...it will be on my shelf at home very soon!

Ok, will you still love me if I say that I just didn't understand the appeal? Every time I admit that to the fans, they tend to react all Ally McBeal style on me and freak out.
It's an OK movie in my opinion. I just didn't see it as a classic like other musicals. |

You're right about it not being a classic like other musicals though...it was more silly I think, but the song...and even Ewan McGregor's voice just got me hooked. Plus John Leguizamo is freakin' hilarious. I don't know why, but I love that man.
