I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie.

Rating: Null/10 (7 November 2011)

I have never been a fan of musicals, but this movie was surprisingly entertaining and kept my interest the whole way through, minus a couple of songs that went for for a bit too long. That being said, this movie has not changed my opinion about musicals, they just are not my thing. And that is because this movie was not like most of the musicals I have seen before, this one was dialogue that was forced into song, it was dance and song numbers that conversations led into. The lead actor, Gene Kelly is amazing. His performance throughout the movie is very solid. But, the person who steals the whole movie without having the biggest part by far is Donald O'Connor. His performance during the "Make 'em Laugh" song makes everyone else in the movie look like a bunch of amateurs. I have never before been impressed by someone's dancing before in my life until this movie and that part of it.
