I'm really excited to see this. I'd see almost anything that had a cast like this but I'm especially excited because it's Nine which is a great musical to begin with, and because it looks like it's being handled well. Here are my impressions so far:
-Marion Cotillard: I love her. She's sounding good in this song but from what I understand this is the song that's meant to replace "Be On Your Own" which is such a beautiful song. Why would they cut it to replace it with something that doesn't do anything much different?
-Kate Hudson: Not great but harmless. I think she sounds like your average pop star which could work better in context than it does in the clip
-Fergie: I'm surprised by how much I'm liking her. I was very skeptical when I heard she'd been cast but I'm glad that my worries seemd to be unfounded
-Penelope Cruz: I'm excited to see her dance- I keep reading how she got her start as a dancer but I've never seen her do much of it. Acting-wise what concerns me is the English. She's a great actress in Spanish language roles but I find her unbelievable in most of her English roles. But then most of her better movies have been in the Spanish language...

I'm still waiting to see/hear:
-Daniel Day Lewis- I've never heard him sing and I'm curious. Actingwise I know he'll knock it out of the park
-Nicole Kidman- I love her. I'm a big fan. I'm not sure if she's right for Claudia though. As written, "Unusual Way" is a beautiful soprano song. Nicole can certainly carry a tune (we've all seen Moulin Rouge) but I'm not sure she has the chops to pull the song off. Unless they've adapted it for her.
