If you are familiar with Fellini, 8 1/2, or Nine, avoid this movie. Should you not heed this warning, see this movie on an empty stomach. Yes it is that bad. Colorful yes but empty. They redid the Broadway score and turned it into music for a cheap strip club. I don't know what Lewis was doing but it was not acting. He was just going around "emoting" all the time in a way that made him look silly. Horrid accent as well. I could not make it through this film. I heard it was bad but figured I would give it a chance...nope...it is that bad.
