I hate musicals - but I loved this one!

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2017)

I also don't see movies at the theater more than once, but will be seeing this one again and perhaps again! This movie gains from a big screen and a great sound system.
Don't think of this as a movie and certainly not a period historical piece, but rather as a very entertaining and well done Broadway Show with songs that will happily stick in your head that just happens to be at your local theater.
The choreography was amazing! From the glass tapping bar scene to the utterly amazing high wire duet, this has unique moments.
This is also a great film for all ages which can't often be said these days, and I do mean all ages.
I usually like the independent style films with good critic and user reviews and this one I almost skipped because of that 50 percent critic rating. But sometimes when the critics either hate it or love it and the users mostly love it, we get to the sad situation, much like the critic portrayed in this film that the critic has lost the ability to just go have fun at a movie!
To have so much visual effect all beating to the same music and almost magically meshing and with all the directional sounds of a good theater sound system being put to good use speaks to suburb post movie editing and crafting.
There is not a lot of history hear but a message of joy, acceptance, imagine, and achieve your own dream.
I loved it!
