Great movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2014)

Was a really great movie and not what I expected from a musical. Most of the movie in fact is not a musical in the sense we think about today. Most musicals i have watched from the modern era are really over the top and over use singing to the point of destroying the store or plot of the film.
I am happy to say that this film does not beat you over the head with a song in every single scene. It sticks to a great plot line with a lot of funny and corny jokes and a little slap stick humor thrown in to break up the seriousness.
The plot is also great. Basically it begins with an actor and his delusional co-star "girlfriend". He tries to escape the event he is attending one night without anyone seeing him and finds himself in a sweet women's car who he is surprised to learn may be the one girl who doesn't really fall head over heels in love with him immediately. he seeks a relationship with her but is turned down. This of course only serves to make him want her even more. After shooting a film with His co-star the producer informs them that sound in a film is the new hot thing and they must immediately change the silent film into a movie with sound. This would be but his co-star is a complete idiot and can learn how to talk into a hidden mike. They record the best the could with sound and on the night of the premier they get to see how good the film now with sound would turn out and it was a complete failure and everyone including the himself hated it. With no other options the actors lose faith until they women he met in the car suggest a way to save the film and that was to turn it into a musical. This was going to save the film except the fact that his co-stars voice was worse than her acting. So they come up with a plan to dub over her voice with the girl he meet's voice which ends up saving the film and she gets recognized as a new up incoming star.
