The best ever

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2009)

This is the ultimate musical movie. The makers of DreamGirls need to go and do some homework.
If you hate musicals, it's probably because you've never seen a musical done the way it's supposed to be. And this movie is one of the funniest movies ever to come out of Hollywood.
Gene Kelly makes every dance scene look effortless and Donald O'Connor almost steals the show in every scene that he's in. But Jean O'Hangan as the bitchy but dumb Lina Lamont is the real star of this movie.
By the way, the famous Singin' in the Rain sequence is magnificantly ripped off dance step for dance step in an episode of Padington Bear. If you're a fan of Singin' in the Rain - track down the Paddington Bear sequence. Almost as great at the real thing!
