If this movie doesn't make you smile...

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2000)

Then ya better close the garage door and fire up the car :) This is a great movie, and there's not much I can say that hasn't already been said many times over. I am not a musical fan - I rented this movie only for it's historical value. But I loved it - it reflects everything that was good about the time period. Sure, it was an idealized version, but I'll take an idealized 30s/50s over an idealized 90s/00s any day! The characters were great, the singing and dancing were superb, and the sets were gorgeous. The only thing that slowed the movie down was the ending Broadway number. Other than that though, no complaints! A great movie to watch if you're feeling down. I give it a 9 out of 10.
