The Wiz - Overproduced and mis-cast (Diana Ross). The only saving grace: Seeing the legendary Lena Horne sing the sh!t out of "Believe In Yourself" at the end of the film but who in their right mind would sit thru this garbage just to get o that point?
Lost Horizon - - - Peter Finch, Sally Kellerman, Olivia Hussey, Liv Ullman, George Kennedy and Michael York singing?!!!? **Hurl**
A Chorus Line - They butchered "Hello Twelve...", they changed the "meaning" of "What I Did For Love" by giving it to Cassie, turning it into a sappy love song. My only guilty pleasure is Audrey Landers as Val.
The Music Man - The recent TV version. Matthew Broderick can't touch Robert Preston with a 10 foot pole. And as much as I love the woman Kristin Chenoweth can't hold a candle to Shirley Jones.
Hello, Dolly - What were they thinking when they paired Walter Matthau and Barbra (I spelled it right this time) Streisand as a romantic couple? Overproduced with annoying performances. The only gem in this cr@p is seeing Ol' Satchmo doing his thing on the title song. This one disappoointed me because one of my idols, Gene Kelly directed it
One From The Heart - Francis Ford Coppola's opus to overproduced Hollywood musicals. Starring Frederic Forrest, Teri Garr, Raul Julia, Nastassja Kinski, Lainie Kazan. It has something to do with a couple unsatisfied with their marriage and thinking the grass is greener on the other side but I didn't stick around long enough to find out how it ended.
Can't Stop The Music - The Village People, Bruce Jenner, Valerie Perrine in a movie directed by Rhoda Morgenstern's mother (Nancy Walker) - - 'nuff said
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Bee Gees take on the Beatles and bring Peter Frampton along for the ride.
What other musical in movie history can boast a cast that includes: Donald Pleasance, Steve Martin, Aerosmith, Chita Rivera, Gwen Verdon, Carol Channing, Earth Wind & Fire and Alice Cooper? Which leads me to ask: Whatever happened to Sandy Farina?
Grease 2 - I'd rather sit through "A Chorus Line: The Movie" 100 times over than to be subjected to this godawful mess. The opening number was the only highlight, after that it goes straight into the toilet. Not even Michelle Pfeiffer's pretty pout or Maxwell Caulfield's pecs could save this one. Truly awful. Makes the original look like Shakespeare.
