Pros: eye candy, a couple of songs Cons: confusing, boring, unappealing message, most songs bland, unsympathetic characters The Bottom Line: Ewan McGregor's bottom line is lovely, but the rest of the movie is pretty lame. Plot Details: This opinion reveals major details about the movie''s plot. The first thing I heard about Velvet Goldmine was that it features Ewan McGregor naked, which was enough of a reason to make me want … more
