EVERYTHING About This Movie is Right!

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2009)

Not even a big fan of this era of music, I was under it's spell from beginning to end. Script, music, casting, wardrobe, comedy, drama, cinematography, every single detail is perfection. Yes, there are obvious flaws where things wouldn't be working in certain conditions, but it doesn't matter. Art overrides reality as it should to keep you mesmerized by this band of merrimen doing their thing. I have a new standard that any time two or more actors from Shawn of the Dead are in a movie it's a given. Throw in the "wirwrey" kicker from The Replacements and it's just icing. It is Oscar-worthy in many categories though it's success won't need to be measured by awards. It will stand on it's own in word of mouth recommendations and repeat viewers. Can't wait to own it!
