Movie Reviews of The Wiz
Movie Review: The Wiz falls short
Summary: 3 Stars
You would think that a cast which includes the likes of Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Lena Horne and Richard Pryor (not to mention the voices of Roberta Flack and Luther Vandross) would be spectacular. Well, I can say that The Wiz isn't that. Director Sidney Lumet tried too hard to make this an over-the top fantastical journey and it just ended up a flop. Don't get me wrong, the music is fantastic and some performances are exceptional (like Mabel King reprising her role as Evilene, the Wicked Witch of the West from Broadway) but on a whole, there's something that is missing. Diana Ross is horribly miscast and, despite all of her efforts, she is vocally inadequate when compared to, well basically everything else. This is something that everybody should see but it isn't worth money. Split the rental fare with a friend (or two). END
