I come to Anne Hathaway, she plays the part of ill fated Fantine, gets the sack and turns to being a prostitute.. she is up for an oscar, she is in it for a 50 minute time period.. Taylor Swift auditioned for the role and can i say, thank fuck she did not get it as Anna, for the short period of time she was in it, she did sing and act the role of a down and out excellently.

Amanda Seyfreind is the pure annoyance...

However, the performances by Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, Samantha Barks and Eddie Redmayne were excellent..
it was good, not as good as everyone is making it out to be though 2.5 hours and 3/5 stars

I'm sorry but WHAT? Hugh Jackman can't sing? Um ok? I'm pretty sure the fact that he shot to worldwide fame on Broadway in The Boy From Oz disagrees with you. Jeez, this reminds me of watching Pulp Fiction years ago with a 15 year old girl who said "Uma's a really good dancer but Travolta can't dance for shit". OMG. I'm 99% certain that given time, you will reevaluate that opinion Ashley

Are you sure he didn't mean The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren?

No you are not. But you are allowed to have one sure. ;) I just think that it's more a matter of you not liking his singing style rather than it being outright bad, as you put it. I've spoken to plenty of people who loved his singing.

Nu uh, you said he was the same as Crowe. Then you said he was 'not excellent'. Which are two different things are they not?
