I've only see The Wiz "reviewed" on websites and video-commentary shows on-line. It looks utterly terrible, I've no idea what it's going for. But I can see it being worse than this. This movie is full of problems and WTF-ery but it has.... Okay I can't finish that sentence without saying something that's complete BS. I don't know what it is I watched (there were songs dedicated to narcotic use and to sweaty sex, so...) and I think the ending was pretty much the writer going... "Crap, I don't know how to end this.... Uh.... God comes and saves the day. The End." Heck, I don't even know what the movie was trying to SAY!
What was my point again...
Oh, yeah, the Wiz is pretty crappy and I'd be interesting to see the guys take it on. Not for a while though, again, I don't know how often I can handle musicals.
