1* AwardSnub: The studio tried to get an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nomination for Creator/MarionCotillard but it didn't happen, despite most critics praising her as the best part of the film, and her intense performance of "Take It All" (which ''did'' get a nom).
2* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Creator/PenelopeCruz in lingerie on a swing, Creator/KateHudson dancing in a {{Stripperiffic}} costume, Music/{{Fergie}} pouring sand all over herself and Creator/MarionCotillard stripping off intensely. Partially justified since the main character is a bit of a lech.
3* EnsembleDarkhorse: Stephanie is one of the favourites in the movie adaptation. Her (movie only!) song "Cinema Italiano" is hugely catchy, and Creator/KateHudson received lots of praise for it. The other popular movie character is Saraghina, thanks to Fergie's impressive performance.
4* JerkassWoobie: Guido may be an idiotic {{Manchild}} who can't keep it in his pants. But it's hard not to feel a little sorry for him as his entire life crashes around him.
5* JustHereForGodzilla: Some agree that Creator/MarionCotillard is the best part of the film, citing that it's worth watching only for her powerful performance of "Take It All".
6* OneSceneWonder: Music/{{Fergie}} as Saraghina for the extremely memorable "Be Italian" sequence.
7* SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: A variation. Creator/KateHudson showed that she could really dance. Even the negative reviews expressed pleasant surprise.
8* SoOkayItsAverage: General consensus is that the film is too clunky with its pacing but the performances salvage it somewhat.
9* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Fans of the stage musical weren't happy about a lot of the original score being cut for the film adaptation (only eight songs survived the cutting).
10* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: The film was considered by many to be a catastrophe, but Creator/DanielDayLewis delved into his character just as much as he has in any other character he's ever played. Many critics wondered if it would hurt his mostly unblemished career at all. He's seconded by Creator/MarionCotillard, who director Rob Marshall viewed as the real star of the film. Her powerful, emotional performance of the MovieBonusSong "Take It All" nearly redeemed the film for some.
