Judi Dench, Nine

Last weekend I hired Nine. I thought it was fantastic. Glittery and large and fun and wow what an interesting cast of women. I can see where it might have got negative reviews - they mention in the special features that they cast the film before they really wrote the characters, and thus every character is exactly who you would imagine her to be, based on her casting, which isn't particularly adventurous or ground-breaking, but damn, is it fun.

I haven't seen the original, so I have no idea how it compares to that. But I will say that the entire experience was worth it to see Judi Dench rocking this fabulous corset in her musical number.
