This movie looks really good--I am almost convinced to go see it! Has anyone else?

My 15 year old granddaughter called me a couple of days ago and said this is her very favorite movie of all time. Interesting because her favorite movie has always been Grease since she was 3 years old.

That's too bad Kitt. Can you go with a friend? It looks like one of those that's better on the big screen.

I'm saving it for a rainy day--will go soon.

I might be able to persuade someone, Ny, I have a girlfriend visiting in a couple of weeks and I'll have to work on her!

Sad to say, I was really disappointed with this. I never go to the movies, and last night we went to see this to celebrate our anniversary. The music was phenomenal, but the story was disjointed, and the whole thing just seemed lacking. I didn't care about the characters at all -- not much character development -- and they left so much that they just expected the audience to assume, that by the 3/4 mark, I was ready to leave. I stuck it out, but we were both unimpressed with it.

I think it might be one to grab off the shelf at Blockbuster and try watching again... might be one of those 'need to see it twice to fully get it' movies. Or, just, need to see it at home with pause and rewind capabilities.

Karen, my daughter went to see it today with her boyfriend. She had been extremely eager for this movie's release but she had the same reaction as you. Said it was boring and a waste of time, she was very disapointed.

I finally saw this last night, after waiting a long time for it to open around here. I absolutely LOVED it as did my daughter. The producer was the same that did "Frida", which we also loved. It's very creatively done, and if you don't like a lot of symbolism and artistic type style, it isn't for you. I thought the time period was captured really well, and unlike someone mentioned above, I loved all the characters.

For me, it was sort of a mixture of "Rent" and "Hair", but the best of both of those.

Kitt, I've never gone to the movies by myself, but a friend of mine did. After that, she said she loved being able to concentrate on the movies and highly rec. going alone!

I haven't seen this. My 13 yr. old loved it though. She really likes musicals.
