The review epically fail!!!

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2017)

This movie is getting slammed by critics. Honestly, I was not that thrilled about going. My teen aged daughter had seen it twice and was begging me to see it with her so she could see it again. I went into it skeptically.
I was blown away. Not only did this film hold my attention, but there were parts I caught myself actually leaning forward in anticipation of what would happen next. The cast was well suited, and offered an array of personality and talent. Zac Efron is not my favorite actor, but I felt he outdid himself in this film musically and theatrically. Hugh Jackman was believable, irritating, irresistable and entertaining all the same time. I did not go to this film looking for historically correct tidbits. I did not go to this film because I thought it would be oscar worthy. I went to be entertained.
I was more than entertained. I became entangled. I was involved. I was enthralled. I will watch this move again and again. I loved the journey it took me on. It also had several great lessons to it along the way. Lessons that society would do well to grasp themselves.
I would recommend this to young and old! Don't listen to the critics. Bad review always send me scrambling to see a film anyway. It's the movies they go on and on about that I avoid.
