The musical for people who don't like musicals

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2007)

Generally speaking I really don't like musicals but I guess it shows if you make a great film it doesn't matter what genre it's in everyone can enjoy it. Singing in the Rain is simply put perfect I can't think of any element I didn't like the singing, dancing humour and characters are all bright breezy and uplifting. The affectionate lampooning of 20's Hollywood is spot on and my favourite scene goes not to the the most famous piece of musical history but to Kelly's dignity always dignity speech with visual highlights of how he's character really made it as a star. I must have seen this movie about 20 times now and I can always sit through another screening and find a new favourite line or scene and that's the mark of something special.
I could go on but all I really need to add is just see it 10/10.
