Nathan Lane is hysterical in places, but not enough to save the film. If you do see it, watch the bit at end of the credits. In fact, the couple of songs during the credits are pretty good. The outtakes on the DVD made me laugh harder than the film itself did.

Well it was the same direc tor from the stage version making her film debut. I haven't seem it yet myself, but it's on my Netflix list.
Going back a page or so the the X-men talk... If the chatter I've been reading so far this week holds true, they seem to be going the spin-off route rather than following it up with an X-Men 4. They already had Wolverine and Magneto films in development and seem to be pushing to make them happen a bit faster now. Today I read of two more potential films. One about Emma Frost, a mutant who never even appeared in the first 3 films and the other film would be more about the lives of Xavier's young students with less of the save the world stuff.
I don't know why, but we saw Date Movie the other night. if I had a vomit smiley I would totally use it to describe that film. Most of it was so dumb that it wasn't even funny. Worse than that, Many scenes were just so disgusting that I couldn't bare to watch them. I literally turned away and didn't look a couple of times.
