I don't care what anyone says, this is the best movie musical ever!

Rating: 9/10 (14 October 1999)

Just about every number in this film has at least something (and almost always many things) that make it very enjoyable and an instant classic. "Moses Supposes" has a catchy tune and rousing chereography. "Good Mornin'" also is very catchy and upbeat. "The Braodway Melody" does go on and doesn't add anything, but it's got Cyd Charisse and some amazingly colorful costumes. What else can be said about "Make 'Em Laugh?" that hasn't already been said? It's got the talent of Donald O'Connor and some real knockout routines, (But that's already been said.) And the title tune,... Gene Kelly's joy and happiness is just so infectious! And plus, it's already a classic. I wish that were more than enough to convince you to see it. If not, then it's got some very funny satire on the transition from silent pictures to talkies, with a hilarious performance from Jean Hagen as Lina Lamont. (Just hearing her voice will make you crack up, promise!) Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds also give good performances but not great ones. Still good enough, though. PLEASE SEE THIS! You'll be all the better for it, really. Even if you don't like musicals, you will no doubt at least like it, and probably love it.
