    @deering

    Isn't "a cast ready to break into joyous song and dance every minute" the very definition of a musical? And as for talent, Streep, Walters, Baranski and Firth are fantastic, and the young Seyfried isn't half bad either.

    This is supposed to be a FUN movie, not "Sophie's Choice 2", so everybody please lighten up. I found it utterly enjoyable, and so did most of the other viewers at the screening I attended (everybody stayed through the credits to watch the encore performances). I, for one, am glad that Streep & Co. didn't take themselves too seriously to make this movie.
