My Quick Thoughts: This movie is good, but there is one huge thing that really bothers me. Back to that in a moment. The writers of this musical have found away to make a story about murder fun and funny. The movie is filled with memorable musical numbers, funny moments, and is very clever in its storytelling. John C. Reilly as the poor sap of a husband is my favorite performance in this movie, and I love how they tie in Taye Diggs' narration as the band leader to the telling of the story. Now back to that thing I hate. I think almost everybody has that one actor that they can't stand. For me that is Renee Zellweger. She is a fine actor, but there is something about her that drives me nuts. I would have probably enjoyed this movie a little more had she not been in it.
Favorite Quote: "I guess you could say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead."
Overall Rating: A-
