eruthros: Delenn from Babylon 5 with a startled expression and the text "omg!" (KW promo pic pink)

So we have All That Jazz, the Bob Fosse bio-pic-musical-thing, on our netflix queue. And I happened to click on the link to the actual page about the movie today, subsequent to a long discussion about ballet, only to discover this review:
We thought this movie was DISGUSTING...full of nudity, drugs,smoking ....obviously the Title does not portray the plot!!! I thought it would be a great musical...sort of along the Louis Armstrong vein...There were 4 of us watching this DVD...and we couldn't wait for it to end. This is NOT entertaining. A movie not FIT for anyone...to say nothing about the youth of today...this movie is a SICK presentation of entertainment!!!
Okay, so, where to start? I mean, you couldn't wait for it to end, but you didn't turn it off? It's not fit for anyone, but the youth of today aren't included in that anyone? For some inexplicable reason, despite reading the brief description of the movie (hint: it features the phrase "raunchy underbelly of show business" and is rated R), you thought it would be ... full of Louis Armstrongish qualities?

Really, none of those things can stand up to my absolute favorite part of the review: "obviously the Title does not portray the plot!!!" *giggles* Wow. Some people, man.
