Watched online (search for the 7 pieces when it goes out of order; part 3 seems to be missing).
16 songs in the Soundtracks, 4 performed by Madonna & she has partial writing credit. At no time does anyone perform or even contemplate music onscreen (unless it was in the missing part 3); these are all in the score. There is no earthly reason to tag this as Music, but there it is.
Rated 4.7 by 8.5k+ IMDb voters, and panned by some critics.
I find it a delightful screwball comedy, with Nikki (Madonna) extremely confident, oblivious to obstacles, intent upon her mission to retrieve the evidence from a bank safety deposit box. The action is wild, madcap and fun, with only a few cars totalled in the process.
I just wish the 2006 dvd was available for less. Right now $10 seems to be the minimum price for used or even digital copies.
Warner & more, dir. Foley; 7+
