Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Gemini Cricket]

As much as I love Mel Brooks and Nathan Lane, I barely got through 'The Producers: The Musical' movie. It was horrible. The play was good (one of my faves), but the director of this film didn't know how to translate this story to film. She even had the original to work from, but it didn't work. 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.
