It's worth seeing for the costumes, camera effects and scenery alone. The story line isn't spectacular, and neither is the acting, but the singing and dancing numbers make up for it.
I found it amazing how they managed to include Nirvana, Madonna, and even Sting into a movie set in 1900 and make it seem like it's supposed to be there. The music is all pumped and popped up, but you can overlook that when watching the movie, and it even has a token black man.
Even Kylie Minouge got a cameo appearance!!
The movie is set around Cameron, a playwright, in Paris in 1899 and his experience of love at the Moulin Rouge, a popular night club. It covers the themes of jealousy, love, truth, honor and death, everything you want in a film. It's the kinda film that makes you sing along and laugh quite constantly, even some of the lines come from popular songs of the last 20 years.
Do see it, I give it 3/5 little gopher dudes.
