Not My Cup of Tea, O So I Thought.

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2019)

I'm not a big fan of musicals and to be honest I just put it on for my mother to pass the: instead of reading my book as planned. I began to watch it and lo and behold instead of it being totally rotten as the critics painted it. I discovered instead a totally captivating and wonderfully entertaining movies.
To be honest I'm not bothered in the slightest by any lack of historical authenticity. Frankly, if I wanted historical authenticity I'd have read a book by an eminent historian and certainly wouldn't expect a Hollywood
Musical to provide me a definitive guide to the past.
I found this movie to provide an all- round fantastic evening of family entertainment and would heartily recommend this movie: to anyone happy simply with a nice film with brilliant singing and dancing. The latter integrated seamlessly into the plot.
Which is possibly why I liked this film so much..
