I dunno if anyone's heard of this movie yet, but it looks very, very funny. Sorta like Chicago without all that jazz, pun intended. ;D

"Romance and Cigarettes is a down-and-dirty musical love story set in the world of the working class. Nick (James Gandolfini) is an ironworker who builds and repairs bridges. He's married to Kitty (Susan Sarandon), a dressmaker, a strong and gentle woman with whom he has three daughters. He is carrying on a torrid affair with a redheaded woman named Tula (Kate Winslet). Nick is basically a good, hardworking man driven forward by will and blinded by his urges. Like Oedipus at Colonus, he is sent into exile and searches to find his way back through the damage he has done. In an imaginative, humorous, and touching way, Romance and Cigarettes explores the cost and value of a relationship through life and death. When the characters can no longer express themselves with language, they break into song, lip-synching the tunes lodged in their subconscious. It is their way to escape the harsh reality of their world - to dream, to remember, and to connect to another human being."

It's also got Mary-Louise Parker (a personal love of mine from Fried Green Tomatoes, and Saved!), Christopher Walken!, Mandy Moore, and Steve Buscemi.

Apparently, they lip-sync (and some of them sorta sing) to well-known popular songs. As far as I know, Sarandon, Mandy Moore (sorta), Mary-Lousie Parker, C. Walken and Kate Winslet can all really sing, but I think their voices are mixed in with the song.

Just wondering if anyone had heard anything about it. I'm dying to see it because I'm a sucker for a musical. I think it'll be in limited release Sept. 23rd.

Kitty? I swear...every other musical I hear about one of the characters is named Kitty.
