What the press would say:

Not since the original has there ever been a musical film as good as Peter Jackson's The Wizard Of Oz. Every aspect of the masterpiece dazzles the viewer and takes you to a place of talking scarecrows and flying monkeys. Lindsay Lohan shows off her vocals as Dorothy Gale and Nicole Kidman is good as usual playing Glinda the Good Witch. Nearly unrecognizable Michelle Pfeiffer gives the best performance of the film and her career as the evil Wicked Witch of the West. Her menacing laugh and wretched screeching allowed her to earn one of the film's 14 Oscar nominations.
