Call it what you will MOULIN ROUGE is a complete waste of time and only suceeds in giving the viewer a splitting headache (have some asprin on standby, you'll need 'em). How this film was a multiple Oscar nominee with Best Actress and Best Picture among them I'll never know. Nicole Kidman overacts frenetically, as does the rest of the cast, though she has a good singing voice and she does look gorgeous throughout the movie. However MOULIN ROUGE rates 8/10 on the vidiot's "Cringe Meter". By the time you hear the rendition of Madonna's LIKE A VIRGIN you'll be ready to break your TV set.
