-
80Manages to honor the theatricality of the source yet becomes a fully cinematic experience. A gem.
-
58Fans starving for some song and dance celluloid may be satiated, but this movie version really shows the material's age.
-
50The deliberate simplicity that works so well at the Sullivan Street Theater seems flat, anachronistic and almost spooky on the big screen.
-
20The movie version overflows with affection and good intention, but unwittingly turns a bauble of cheerful fakery into something that mostly feels phony.
