6.8
[blu-ray]

The music is energetic and fun with creative wordplay, even if sounding if all of it is cut from the same oompah/striptease mold. And the intercutting between “real life” and “on stage” is a clever concept that adds depth to the story, but after a few musical numbers, that concept feels like a retold joke that expects as big a laugh as the first time. The real star of this show is the lighting and set design.

The 2010-issued Miramax blu-ray I viewed had a graininess unexpected from a 2002 film, and looked barely better than a high-quality VHS tape.
