Had Me Singin' for Joy

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2015)

This movie is a classic and deserves all the credit it gets! I honestly could not believe what a wonderful film it was as I was watching it. The sets were mesmerizing and so beautiful. All of the colors were spectacular. I could honestly watch the movie without the sound just to see the dancing and the sets. That being said the singing was amazing and the lyrics were so thoughtful and funny. I've had this music stuck in my head since I watched it, but I love it. I could listen to the soundtrack of this film over and over again. The script was well written and the characters were believable and enjoyable to watch. I was honestly laughing throughout the whole film. It's the perfect film; a musical, a drama, a comedy, and a romance all wrapped into one. The casting for this film was perfect; Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Jean Hagen, and Debbie Reynolds were all funny, talented, and skilled actors who greatly added to this films success.
