Watched online, miserable copy, blurry.
19 songs in the Soundtracks, most performed by JP (mostly offscreen), singing like a cross between Elvis & Tom Jones, but less physical.
Actually amusing at times, and the songs are fun. Julie Andrews has a small part as herself, and sings, or maybe she just lip syncs to her own recording, because the bad surgery was in '97. Apparently KB does her own singing.
Rated 6.9 (3,363)
