    This movie had potential to be a 5 stars movie, however they ruined this opportunity when they introduced those effects of drawn band.
    It's pity, I loved the argument. Good work from tha actors. Ewan, you were soooo cute!!

    I love this movie..I hate musicals..but this movie is GREAT!! If it wasn't for Ewan I probably would have never seen it. He's the perfect man..he's hot and he can sing..he can also kick butt (Star Wars). I WANT EWAN MCGREGOR!!
