"While the movie musical will never be quite as popular as it once was, there are still one or two big ones a year that keep the dream alive. There are times, however, when that dream turns into a nightmare. There are few experiences worse than sitting down to watch a musical adaptation of a famous show, only to realize half an hour or an hour or a full 90 minutes in that, oh no, this is really bad, and it's only getting worse, and there are two more hours left. The bad movie musicals are spectacles in and of themselves, and while we wouldn't want to watch any of them ever again, they're still fascinating examples of just how bad things can get if you're not careful. We've gathered the ten worst movie adaptations of beloved stage shows, each adapted from a Broadway or off-Broadway musical whose popularity was enough to convince some studio that they must create a filmed version of this thing that people like." - popcrush.com
