I'm guessing they didn't realize it was a musical.
Seriously? Could that be it for reals?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. But the C.H.U.D. need to have a human or Morlock guardian....

Saw Alvin and the Chipmunks. Was entertained, though it is sad that the animated characters acted better than the live actors .
There were a couple of kids in the audience who declared it the BEST MOVIE EVAH. YMovieRatingMV.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I had no idea Sweeney is a musical, even after seeing the first trailer - I found out about it on the interwebs. That said, once I found out what it's actually about, now I want to actually see it.
Quiet Earth was hugely influential for me. I'm still not sure why, but it stayed with me for a long time.

Quiet Earth really stuck with me, too, Kevin. I first saw it rented on VHS back in the mid to late 80's, not long after it was first released. It's been a favorite of mine ever since. It has an economy of story effort that serves it well. And it still rewards repeat viewings.
Constant Gardener has lingered with me as well. S and I keep thinking about it and talking about it. Mostly about the relationships and characters, not the Big Pharma conspiracy plot.

Yeah, all credits to the director of that - I read an interview with him where he said he realised mid way through the shoot that the movie shouldn't really even be about the Big Pharma thing. Obviously, it is, but that's not what makes the characters compelling.
I saw Quiet Earth fairly early on - when I was about 12 I'd say, and remembered it well. I stumbled across it again in 2005, and - yeah - it's still great. There's something very... strange... about it. Not strange. I don't have the words, still. I found it incredibly atmospheric, which seems strange given what the film is about.
I was hoping I Am Legend would be a little like it, but mostly it wasn't.

Do you guys know that Victor Garber was the original Anthony? Check him out on Johanna [link] Spydaddy has some pipes.
Oddly enough, I was wearing my Spydaddy t-shirt when we went to see Sweeney Todd.

Punishingly Intricate
I don't get not knowing Sweeney Todd is a musical but what people don't know often baffles me. I'm guessing it's the level of gore that does most people in.
I loved Juno so much! Loved. It.

Regarding Sweeney Todd, the movie, I have serious blood and gore issues, but that was not the biggest squick for me. For me it was more the bodies hitting the floor after being dropped from the chair.
Judicious use of fingers over the eyes took care of getting through those parts and I was fine.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That's where we got, "Ohhhhhh!" s from the audience we saw it with, too, Suzi.
Every. Time.
