Additionally, the film is off-balance because neither of its stars plays the lead: Newton-John’s name appears before the credits, but she doesn’t have much to do except for her songs. You might think that introducing nine Muses at the beginning of the movie would give plenty of scope for both music and wit – we only had five in Disney’s Hercules, and they created a glorious all-singing, all-dancing, all-plot-recapping chorus.
