Fresh
An act of double homage to antique artifice.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
Maybe Kenneth Branagh should have left the Hollywood musical where he found it, back in the 1930s.
David Germain, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rotten
With all the cutesy-pie self-consciousness on display, the fizz goes off the pink champagne awfully quickly.
Misha Berson, Seattle Times
Rotten
A double travesty -- a triple one, actually, if you consider the quality of the singing and dancing.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
