Romance & Cigarettes (2005)

Synopsis: A man cheats on his wife. She finds out about it.(The film is a musical.)

Appraisal: I didn't like it much, but it's hard to explain why. The format -- soundtrack music "commenting" the action -- is not exactly my cup of tea. But I think what rubbed me the wrong way was its sentimentality which sounded faux at certain moments. Anyway, I kept finding interesting things in the movie, although often they would be followed by other things I didn't like much.

Rating: 52
