Did not like this movie at all! Saw it in the movie theater and thought it was a waste of money!

Never has a movie I've seen been more of an acquired taste than MOULIN ROUGE. You either love it, or you hate it. You may love musicals and romances, and still hate this movie. Or, you may usually abhor those genres and love it. Some people think this movie is obnoxious and unnecessary. Others, myself included, find it moving and brilliant. Whatever the case, everyone should agree that MOULIN ROUGE is certainly a grand hymn to love and creativity. Considering the film's main character is a prostitute and the movie takes place in an upper-class brothel, it is actually much tamer than it could have been. Still, however, it earns its PG-13 for some sexual material. The script takes no opportunity to hide the fact that Satine, the main character, sells herself for money. Her profession is constantly mentioned in frank, yet non-explicit, terms. In one crass scene, played for comedy, she mistakes the hero for one of her clients. She attempts to seduce him, when all he wants to do is read poetry to her. Thus, all of his lines take on an added meaning, and lines like "it's [the poem] quite long" and "I want you to be comfortable, but I prefer to stand" become innuendos. Once he begins to read his poetry, she tries to arouse him by moaning and making sexual noises. However, since he is still innocent to her intentions, he continues singing until she stops. One song deals entirely with how lust ruins trust, and characters also sing Madonna's "Like a Virgin." However, there is no nudity or actual sex in the movie. I didn't count a single profanity, and there's no violence.

Love it. The singing, costuming and set are phenomenal. If the kids are young enough, they probably won't understand most of the inuendos, except for one scene that might lead to awkward discussion, haha. But really, it's a beautiful movie.
