that makes me dislike the movie a bit. IMO, when doing a movie based on a stage musical, you should try to get as close to the original stage production as possible. I hate it when Hollywood makes unnecessary changes to stage musicals.

So, the movie moved Anne Hathaway's song "I'm So Damn Sad, Dear God I'm Sad" from after she looses her job (which would make me sad) where it is in the stage musical, until...

SPOILERS ALERT

...after she becomes a bald toothless prostitute (which would make me sadder). Seems a solid dramatic choice.

I'm not someone who's familiar with the stage version at all, but the placement of that song in the film makes so much more sense, in my mind, than its apparent placement in the stage musical.

Also, what's the point of doing a movie if it's going to be exactly the same as the stage show?

Also, stage acting and film acting are very different.
