    I can understand how people didn't enjoy this movie. I can also understand why people who switched off after 15 minutes - I only didn't because I wasn't watching it alone!

    This movie is so loud, vibrant, flashy, showy, insane, and just plain in-yer-face BIG, that it's kinda difficult to just sit there and watch.

    But give it time. It settles down after 15 minutes, the characters become more endearing, the plot makes more sense, and you start to actually enjoy the lavish visuals on show. If your a music fan, you'll also have fun spotting where one classic song (eg, by Elton John) melds almost seamlessly with another (oooh, maybe Nirvana?!)

    Contrary to what people may say, Kidman and McGregor CAN sing well enough to carry a good tune (though sticking with acting may still be the best option), and Jim Broadbent is just ace.

    Best tune: Roxanne. Harsh, gruff, great :)

    This film is amazing. I love it so much that I have even used 2 songs from it in my wedding! It can take 15 minutes or so to get in to but it's well worth it in the end. Plus Ewan McGregor is HOT!

    Outstanding love story! one of the best i've seen. This first time I watched was years ago, but I felt drawn to watch it again. Enjoyed it more this time, maybe as I understood what was happening better. Must watch film!

    This is a superb movie....it is one that you have to watch a second time to realise just how good it is ...you see all the little things...........first time round it is ...a shock...unexpected...not quite sure what is going on...........second time round it is pure magic and it goes on getting better and better the more you watch it.

    OMG - Nicole Kidman is bloody irritating! Gorgeous set and costumes - shame about her. Ewan is a great singer however - apart from repeating 'All you need is love' over and over.
