Nell Minow Movie Mom Better at the edges than the center -- the story is weak, but there are wonderfully vivid, wise, and witty moments and some insight into the multi-cultural challenges of a huge musical undertaking. Rated: 4/5 Nov 24, 2002 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times There are dozens of major and minor characters in the film, and Szabo juggles them artfully, telling some of their stories and transient flirtations in asides and background action. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Kathleen Maher Austin Chronicle Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Rated: 3/5 Mar 17, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jun 18, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
