A pair of sisters from the vaudeville circuit try to make it big time on Broadway, but matters of the heart complicate the attempt. (From IMDb) ( ) A sister act tries to make it on broadway. Everyone says this is a bad movie, but I had just assumed that that's because they go in expecting a Best Picture winner. I went in expecting crap, and it managed to be worse than I could have possibly imagined. There are a handful of musical numbers that have nothing to do with the plot and feature none of the cast, and those bits are fine (~5-10 minutes of screen time). The rest of the music ranges from mediocre to completely awful. I hope that Page's and Love's characters are meant to be bad performers, but I don't really think that was the intention.
