‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’ review: Jennifer Lopez’s movie-musical is another disappointment

“Kiss of the Spider Woman,” based on the Tony Award-winning 1993 Broadway show by John Kander and Fred Ebb, has its work cut out for it from the opening credits.After all, two of the greatest movie-musicals ever made were adapted from that legendary duo’s oeuvre: “Cabaret” and “Chicago.” Both of those stylish hits are, for good reason, enduring Best Picture winners.I doubt cinema-classic status will be the path for wobbly Ms. “Spider Woman,” which premiered Sunday night at the Sundance Film Festival. Caught in her web, I was not.

‘Kiss Of The Spider Woman’ Review: Bill Condon’s Film Version Brilliantly Reinvents Broadway Musical And Finally Gives Jennifer Lopez The Role She Was Born To Play – Sundance Film Festival

There can be no question the Broadway musicals of John Kander and Fred Ebb have been charmed when it comes to movie adaptations. Bob Fosse’s 1972 film reinvention of Cabaret won eight Oscars. Director Rob Marshall and screenwriter Bill Condon‘s cinematic interpretation of Chicago in 2002 is still the last musical to win the Best Picture Oscar. Both made the musical format work, even for those who hate movie musicals, by integrating the songs so they don’t collide with the narrative but seamlessly fit in with it. (Ironically for Kander and Ebb their 1977 original movie musical New York, New York directed by Martin Scorsese was less successful, as was its recent stage incarnation.)

‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’ Review: Jennifer Lopez Provides Welcome Escape From Grim World of Argentine Prisoners

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Boundaries are constantly blurring in “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” the revolutionary mid-’80s film that became a Kander and Ebb musical, and that cunningly (and stunningly) morphs back to the big screen, courtesy of “Dreamgirls” director Bill Condon. Confined mostly to an Argentine detention facility in 1983, at the height of the country’s Dirty War, the show is the flip side of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Evita,” focusing on the brutal military regime that followed Eva Péron’s ouster.
