I really wish this were a better movie, it has a great soul score and some inventive visuals but Diana Ross' interpretation of Dorothy is dreadful. She behaves like a 10-year-old for much of the film, whines and cries at every available opportunity and is about a decade too old. What really ruined this for me though was the atrocious cinematography. Big musical numbers are shown for extended periods in long shots that are way too far away to even make out what's happening. This would be understandable if this was only done when there are a large number of performers in the scene, but it's also done when there are only two. It makes no sense. Michael Jackson's peanut butter cup nose was very distracting too.

Don't watch this movie on the premise of it being just like the Wizard of Oz or you will be highly disappointed. It is massively different! The songs are different, the cast are different and it's set in an American suburb. It has lost it's magic, and it's very confusing in my eyes. Not the best musical.

Whilst I think this really does work on stage, I really didn't much rate this African-American take on the timeless "Wizard of Oz" tale. It seems much more intent on making a political statement than it does on entertaining anyone, and given I'm not from the community it was made by and for, I felt More
