Make 'Em Laugh

Rating: 9/10 (11 May 2012)

I hate musicals! I absolutely can not stand them! I loathe them!
Singin' in the Rain is different though. Most importantly, it has music that I actually want to listen to. Most musicals are bogged down with love songs that I don't care to hear, or songs just written to elongate the running time. I never once said, "Oh Jeeze, they're singing again?"
It's a clever concept that was done very well. It's like the Artist, but better! It was so cheerful and the colors blew my mind.
Even the dancing in most musicals is cringe worthy. In "Singin'", it actually inspired me to learn to dance. (For about a day, but those catchy songs were stuck in my head for at least two weeks after that.)
I could really get into musicals if they were all like this one. Please God, help man make more musicals like Singin' in the Rain.
