I thought this movie was pretty good, mostly because of the singing and choreography. When it comes to the casting, Matthew Broderick and Kristen Chenoweth were FANTASTIC, Molly Shannon was very amusing and the kids who played Amaryllis, Wintrop, Tommy and Zaneeta were very good. The only bad call in this matter was Victor Garber as the Mayor. Not that I'm trying to bust his chops or anything, he's a GREAT actor, but the part of the Mayor wasn't, isn't and never will be right for him. They should've gotten someone like John Ritter or Dan Aykroyd for that part. I guess CBS forgot that one had to be FUNNY to play the Mayor. But other than that, on a scale of 1 to 10, I give this one an 8 3/4.
