No need to if you seen at least two of the following:
Showgirls
Moulin Rouge
Coyote Ugly
Chicago
Caberet
Devil Wears Prada
The movie was ok... nothing new. Just hot and sexy. A bit on the long side. I was getting restless towards the end.
Broadway Shows I've Seen: Hairspray, Chicago, Little Shop of Horrors (2003), The Wedding Singer, Spamalot, Riverdance, Rent, Beauty and the Beast, Spring Awakening, Wicked, Legally Blonde, Phantom of the Opera, Sweet Charity (revival), Drowsy Chaperone, The Lion King, Dreamgirls(2010 Tour).

Upon reflection it could have gone for bigger emotion, but I had a good time and was impressed by its avoidance of many backstage-movie cliches. The plot is lifted from 42nd Street/Showgirls/All About Eve, but that's not a big thang.
With Irma you gotta do something!

Blecccch.
This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Correction: This was one of the worst movies ever made.
And I don't mean that in a this-is-so-bad-it-ends-up-being-good way.
Every single thing about it is a complete and total failure, even its failed attempt to be a Showgirls/Valley of the Dolls camp kind of classic.
