One of the choppiest films I've ever seen, it deserves an award only for poor editing. But as long as actresses who can't dance insist on doing musicals, Hollywood will find personalities who lend their names to these failures. Sigh!

That leads me to a correction: The US re-release of the film did not start on December 25 at the Roxie, but rather at the Lincoln Plaza Cinema in New York City. Also, I finally found an English-language page for Good Morning President on the official site of its co-production company (and international distributor), CJ Entertainment: http://www.cjent.co.kr/eng/lineup/info.asp?MovieNo=259&MovieYear=2009&MovieTitle= Two updates-

Chicago proved them right; I look forward to seeing if Nine does the same.
