No need to if you seen at least two of the following:
Showgirls
Moulin Rouge
Coyote Ugly
Chicago
Caberet
Devil Wears Prada
The movie was ok... nothing new. Just hot and sexy. A bit on the long side. I was getting restless towards the end.

Upon reflection it could have gone for bigger emotion, but I had a good time and was impressed by its avoidance of many backstage-movie cliches. The plot is lifted from 42nd Street/Showgirls/All About Eve, but that's not a big thang.
With Irma you gotta do something!

Blecccch.
This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Correction: This was one of the worst movies ever made.
And I don't mean that in a this-is-so-bad-it-ends-up-being-good way.
Every single thing about it is a complete and total failure, even its failed attempt to be a Showgirls/Valley of the Dolls camp kind of classic.
