While my husband and I enjoy musicals, there was actually too much music in this one-not enough development of character. Daniel Day Lewis was, as always, fantastic-but, while surmising his conflict with Mothe/rwhore relationships, it was never explained why this conflict occured. Sophia Loren was stunning in her older age, Penelope Cruz didn't look too good. Fergie sang beautifully, Kate Hudson looked so much like her Mom it was distracting. Judy Dentch looked great and was the best actor of the group.
