Amazing musical!

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2013)

I can tell why this movie is loved by so many people. Whether you like musicals or not, this movie is a whole lot of fun to watch.
Almost everything about this movie was perfect. The cinematography was excellent with many long fluid shots, the transitions between scenes were great, the story line was amazing, but the actors definitely take the cake for most spectacular. Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds were fantastic in their performances. As triple threats, they both shine in singing, dancing, and acting, making it a truly enjoyable film to watch. However, my absolute favorite part of this film was Donald O'Connor. "Make 'Em Laugh" is easily one of the best scenes in the film. His ability to make singing and dancing look effortless is super impressive and makes for an unforgettable performance. After seeing him in this, I looked up what other films he was in so I could potentially watch them. This movies only flaw was the awkwardly place dance number towards the end of the film. You know the one...
As a big lover of live-action musicals, I really loved watching this. I enjoyed every second of it and plan on watching it many more times. I highly recommend this to anyone, regardless of ones movie taste. It's a really feel good movie that will make you smile and laugh. Excellent film!
