Review of The Producers (2005) by Axelb. — 05 Jan 2006
The score isn't stellar, but it does have a couple great songs. The whole thing reminds you of a 1950s musical film, sure, but, let's face it, that's what it is. If you love musicals, you'll love it.
If you don't, you won't. Funnier than the original film (which is very funny), The Producers preserves on film a couple of terrific Broadway performances. Will Farrell can sing, and Uma Thurman is miscast (a body double is used for the tougher dance sequences).
Still, it's a fun evening at the movies. Just don't expect West Side Story.
