But I think I'll see it anyways and judge for myself. I think I can keep the two films separate enough that I will be able to enjoy this for what it was.

All right; I'll look forward to your review!

It certainly looks MUCH better than the dreadful film remake of The Producers.

That's true; I should not tar all movie musicals with its brush. I'm just trying to think of an alternate case where a movie was made into a musical was made into a movie and I liked the results. I haven't come up with anything.
