Movie Haiku:Bob Fosse reinvented theatrical choreography & left an enduring legacy. But this self-indulgent, autobiographical extravaganza isn't it -- regardless of its many Oscar nominations & multiple wins. The intimate scenes with Foldi as his daughter have some warmth, but after the great opening (ON BROADWAY) it's mostly a mess.
