LOL, I have to agree, Tim!
There were some really great performances in Les Miz (especially Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean), but overall neither my husband nor I really liked the movie. Although we like musicals if they're done well, there was waaaay too much singing in Les Miz, not all of it good, or necessary.
We found ourselves looking at our watches during the movie (very rare for us), and wishing Andrew Lloyd Webber had done the music. None of the songs in Les Miz are particularly memorable, in our opinion...
See it on stage! This was not a good rendition of this musical.
