I wonder who implied this.
So there's credit to be given if it's faithful to something that wasn't good in 1981 either?

The review you posted was pretty stupid though. Hasn't that critic seen The Umbrellas of Cherbourg?

(xpost: Oh come on Morbs, that's what that Armond White review is complaining about, along with the token "I hate Eddie Murphy" aside. And yes, I think that there is some credit to be given for retaining so much of the flavor of the source material after translating from the stage to the screen; if they hadn't done that part well, everything else would have been moot and no one would care if the songs were Motown-worthy or not.)

Someone on a gaygaygay board said at the premiere engagement here at the Ziegfeld, some guy was singing along to the whole damn thing in his seat til an usherette came over with her flashlight and said, "Girl, control yourself."

oh haha i was at one of the ziegfeld things and the crowd was like half gay, and half black, with quite a bit of crossover. before it started, i went to the bathroom and there was a huuuge line for the stalls, but the urinals were ok. who does coke/gloryhole action right before a movie?!?! (a non-porn movie)
i had never been to a movie before where people cheered during the movie, and hung around during the credits to give hearty appluase when a performer's name came up.

I think they're just enjoying watching the movie with other people rather than alone.

Kind of can't blame Mariah for a song interpretation that predates her by eight years!
