My knowledge of all things Robbie comes mostly from listening to my wife, who would drop me in a heartbeat if he ever showed her any interest!I was really tempted to say something about being in his fanclub, etc, but I wasn't confident it'd come across as light-hearted as I would have intended
I was just thinking the other day I would absolutely watch a full adaptation of this. Although it wouldn't be the same without Phil Hartman's Troy McClure and the writing in that minute or so is so good that I can't imagine it could be maintained for a whole show.Anyone want to watch a planet of the apes musical? Didnt think so.
I didnt know Robbie W even did Millennium. And I hadnt heard the song on radio in ages or even remembered it until people brought up this movie.

He always reminded me of Roger The Dodger out of The Beano comic.
Aaaand another thing about that fucker..he's one of many in the long list of "Cheeky chappy" media twats who always makes a point of reminding every one that they played The Artful Dodger in a stage production of Oliver Twist .
Maybe there's some questions to be asked about the choices that went into making it with that kind of budget. But it seems that generally those who have seen it have enjoyed it. Having seen it, I wouldn't say it's trash.
Firstly, why making a movie based on Robbie Williams should be the first question.
Robbie Williams, making it a cgi monkey movie based on him in real life being called a monkey or whatever, and being a musical has zero business being a giant budget movie.Based on the reviews, this was a good movie that didn't find an audience.
Like I said, people could ask questions about the choices behind the production. However I don't think that a films commercial performance is the definitive measurement of its quality. But these days it does seem to be one of the main way a lot of people online interact with films. I guess it could be because it's something you can talk about without having seen it.
I get what youre saying, but if people dont want to watch it from the get go, it means something is wrong with it. People shunned it. And I think a lot of people avoided it because most people dont care about Robbie Williams or a cgi monkey musical. I had to google it myself why and it turns out he was called acting like a monkey when he was young. Unless someone is a hardcore Robbie fan I doubt most people knew that. Sometimes a premise is just too weird to be accepted.
I don't think that a low turnout necessarily indicates there's something wrong with the film. If your main interest is box office performance then maybe it's the case from that angle. But my primary concern is whether or not I like the film. If they want to spend $100 million on a film that I liked and barely anyone else saw then cool. I got to see a film I liked. Maybe we're just looking at this from different perspectives.
In the UK it seems, but in the US, there was no impact or awareness at all of this band between New Kids / N'Sync, even among the main teenage girl demographic that could tell you everything about those latter bands but is borderline guaranteed in the US to never once have heard of Take That.
$110M production budget. I dont think this movie had a ton of marketing but sake of argument let's just round it all up to $150M total cost.
Left over brainstorming session by the folks over at Disney+?
