Sweet Charity

Shirley MacLaine plays "Charity Love Valentine" who's life in NY is less than perfect. She is hapless with love and works as the equivalent of a stripper in today's world at a gentlemen's club. Supporting characters are great but I just felt like this was a musical version of "Breakfast at Tiffany's." I liked it but just felt like I saw this before.

The dance/song sequences are good, and I can see specific moves that Beyonce stole for her "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" and "Get Me Bodied (Extended)" videos. 

Overall very good movie. I don't think I would watch it twice though.
