The Phantom of the Opera
Directed By Joel Schumacher
Rating
Sister and I were on a Gerard Butler binge, hence the seeming necessity of watching this grandiose and, let's face it, quite tacky production. Our dear Phantom can't hold a tune for longer than 5 seconds; Christine is a milk sop; Raoul is too boring to be the cause for any real reflection. I only enjoyed Minnie Driver's OTT performance - and I normally refuse to believe she's an actor. I still don't but that's besides the point. Poor Gerard. What were you thinking? You're much too delicious and "un-fat" to pass off as the Phantom of popular imagination. I mean, he's Andrew Lloyd Webber in disguise.
