Disappointing, Cliched, Banal

See it if You're solely in it for the ballet dancing, or you're looking for an overly cliched, unoriginal plot with lack-luster characters.

Don't see it if You're looking for talented singing or acting, or you want a well-developed plot/characters.

Great dancing, Great score, Strong performances, Botched adaptation

See it if you love Gershwin and great dancing, and don't care how badly the well honed script of the movie has been butchered and distorted.

Don't see it if ...you expect the big ending ballet to reflect Jerry's experience in Paris (as it did in the movie).

Don't see it if If you want excitement.
