Audience Member To truly enjoy this movie, you need to know 1930s musicals and love Cole Porter music. That being said, you can still enjoy it if you do not know the source material, but you will not fully understand the satire or catch all of the fabulous Easter eggs hidden in the movie. It would be like watching "Mamma Mia!" with no knowledge of Abba. Also, please remember that the purpose of this movie is satire. It is meant to poke fun at old movie stereotypes, but in an endearing way. It is not meant to be a top-tier musical in its own right. Overall, this movie is excellent at being exactly what it is supposed to be, and it is actually quite fun to watch. Since I am grading it based on its purpose as satire instead of comparing it with something it is not meant to be, it earns its 5 stars. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite its commercial and critical failure, the (admittedly misguided) effort put into the film can still be perceived. The settings are stunning and the blithe humour offers some counterbalance to the sub-par singing: paradoxically, this musical would have been much better without musical numbers. The director's cut released in 2013 is more enjoyable. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The leads aren't much but the supporting cast couldn't be better and the film is always a treat to look at. Vastly underrated. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member It may be indulgent, a little slow between songs and isn't as witty as its script thinks it is, but Bogdanovich's 30s musical throwback still manages to be a barrel of fun. This is partially thanks to the cast, including the late great Madeline Kahn, who are not half bad at singing and give their characters more likability beyond their obvious 30s stereotypes. The sets and costumes, all done in sleek blacks and whites, look really good and achieve that 'black & white in colour' look, and most of all, the songs by the legendary Cole Porter are still the same quality material, loaded with memorable lyrics and double entendres. 'Well did you Evah?' especially being the film's most vibrant and funniest song.
