Discounting “The Muppets,” the movie musical has had a bit of a rough go as of late. Fans have a likely sumptuous, probably bloated "Les Misérables" to look forward to in December, a film that hopefully cleanses the palate of the disaster that was "Nine." Due to their grand scales and expensive price tags, they don't come along too often -- it's a huge gamble, and if Rob Marshall’s Oscar flunkee proves anything, it's that even successful Broadway shows don't mean a damn thing at the box office. So why not cut the fat?
