Newsies (1992)

Forgettable songs and messy choreography -- and when production numbers like that are pasted on top of a fairly lazy script about the true-life newsboy strike...well, there's just no reason to watch.

I'm especially embarrassed for Christian Bale and his "that's the foist thing you gotta loin" accent. Glad he's now got enough cash to say no to crap like this. I'd feel sorry for Ann-Margret, too, but she seemed to actually be enjoying herself in the "object of lust for underage boys" role.
