Angie Lo

Fantastically presented adaptation! So many wonderful nods to the original Wizard of Oz film and to the original Broadway play. Beautiful costumes, sets, makeup, music, acting... It was lovely at every turn. Highly recommend this.

Efron's character is a bouquet of red flags. Hello, boundary violations! He did a fine job of it. Kidman's character ignores all the red flags. King's character also has some major boundary violations, so I guess Kidman's character is a doormat. The movie made me cringe multiple times. Not sure why Kidman is doing ads for the movie, saying it's a rom-com, because I don't think I laughed more than one small chuckle. The movie had me putting my face in my hand more times than I can count, and I might need therapy after watching it to make sure my boundaries made it through that insanity. Why am I not giving it one star?
