Great Characters, Great Music

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2007)

I was very pleasantly surprised by this movie. It was good to see another movie musical. (I liked the movie musical "Chicago" as well.) On the downside or negative side of things, I think there were some moments where it didn't appear that the songs were well (or totally) sync'd with the video. But....that would be the only critical comment I would make on this film.
It was a very good film. The movie flowed and I never felt as if it "dragged" at all. In fact, once it was over, I found myself sitting there wishing there was more to come.
I thought the acting was well done and not too much or too little. I felt all of the characters were believable and both well acted and well written. The way the characters were written you were allowed to begin to surmise their specific unique characteristics instead of having the film develop them for you or have them "preach" them at you.
