South Pacific

Pros: Excellent acting, wonderful characterizations. Everything was equally as good as the original
Cons: None.

It is always difficult to re-make an old favourite musical, and expect to catch the hearts of those watching this version with as much fire as did the original. I must admit, I expected to find much to criticise in any re-make of "South Pacific", even...

Pros: Great music
Cons: Not believable, slow, lame acting
