The Honest Truth Behind 'Les Miserables'

2013-03-26 16:04:22 UTC

Now that Les Miserables is off the Oscar docket, we can all freely speak our minds about the content of the movie without fearing retribution from film buffs.

Who better to wage war against musical plot holes and nonsensical casting than Honest Trailers? They are never going to let Wolverine live this one down. And, remind me, why was Borat in this movie?

But most of all, the notorious movie parodiers at Screen Junkies pick a bone about the never-ending sing-song dialogue, which is made especially awkward because it's Gladiator doing the singing.

Now we get what the French people were revolting against: musicals.
