Like the swallows of Capistrano, critics always return to Evita as Madonna's one Hollywood highlight. As the Material Girl's directorial debut Filth and Wisdom (starring Gogol Bordello's Eugene Hütz) hits marquees, the Sunshine reimagines this emotional musical by turning it into a larger-than-life karaoke party. Through 85 costume changes and many burst-into-bombast numbers, Madonna portrays the life and times of Argentina's "spiritual leader of the nation" with classic showmanship, while Antonio "Too Sexy" Banderas struts about as a narrating Che. Attendees don't need to be versed in anything more than the film's famous plea, but be prepared to feel overdramatic by osmosis. Andrew Lloyd Webber would be proud.
