Blew me simply away

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2020)

With the first beats that movie grabbed me and pulled me forward close to the screen.
More than one time I felt I should have stood up and danced (but at the age of 50, you´re not sooooo enthusiastic anymore).
It promises Entertainment - and by god - you´ll get it.
With a message plastered over it, that seems not very subtle.
But what the heck....
The cast was top notch from Hugh (one of his career best, so I believe) to nearly every supporting actress/actor.
The day I saw it at the movies found me walking into the next CD-Store to grab a copy of the Soundtrack. That is one of my favorites of my life.
I count this one to the best Muscial-Experiences I ever had - "Singin´in the rain"/"The little shop of horrors"/"Sweeney Todd"/""Team America - World Police"/"South Park - Bigger, longer and uncut"/"Disneys "Aladdin"/""Lion King" (the animated, not the cgi-ones) - and can´t accept the cash-in they did when they let prominent singers redo the original songs. Absolutley unnecessary.
