Hot off the sets of Chicago and Moulin Rouge respectively, Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor have obviously found a niche for themselves.

They both excel in this musical of sorts, although the leads don't actually burst into song, except during the end credits, the whole film has a light-hearted, choreographed feel.

This multi-coloured, multi-layered romantic comedy is an attempt to recreate the Doris Day-Rock Hudson musical genre.

The brightly coloured movie, shot in 1960's Technicolor, is set in 1962, and Zellweger looks and feels surprisingly Day-esque.

Even McGregor sings and dances his heart out and has never looked more handsome.

The plot is simple but fun.

Set in the Swinging Sixties, a bouncing Zellweger plays Barbara Novak, a feminist best-selling novelist who falls for McGregor's character, hard-nosed journalist 'ladies man, man's man, man about town' Catcher Block.

Catcher decides that his biggest achievement would be to lure this man-hating creature into his heart, and bed, and sets himself the challenge of seduction.

The grand finale, where secrets are revealed and ploys uncovered, is a huge disappointing mess, but no one would watch this film for the storyline.

Sexual innuendo is rife, and the colour co-ordinated outfits are fabulous.

The highlight is definitely Catcher's sidekick - his boss Peter McManus, played by David Hyde Pierce (Frasier's brother) who shines and helps elevate the film off it's slightly average plateau.

The film looks great but has little depth, and feels stilted in places. Maybe it's all part of the look and feel...
