Tore Sergei M Great movie with great songs! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/05/24 Full Review Simon T Froth, but infectiously performed. The plot could be written on a stamp, and is the least interesting element, but several of Marc Shaiman's numbers - not least the climactic You Can't Stop the Beat - are genuine crowd-pleasers, and to see John Travolta cocooned in prosthetics sending up his Saturday Night Fever and Grease appearances is glorious. Christopher Walken and Michelle Pfeiffer lend terrific support, and if you can park your brain you'll have a good time. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review CDM 1 I first watched this reluctantly on a plane and discovered then and with countless rewatches that it is the best ever feel-good movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Ashley H The music, the message, the iconic hair, the dance moves, what an exciting film to watch! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/25/23 Full Review Montgomery M Im not a musical person for the most part. But there is just something about this movie that I cant help but enjoy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Red T A Classic Musical The acting, cinematorapgy, and music is all really well done. And the pacing and editing is good too. Some numbers a re a bit catchier than others with the last number being the best one. Really the main issue is this needed a bit more time with the nonmusical sections as 80% of the runtime if not more so is musical numbers and while more do fit with the plot, they can crowd out the nonmusical scenes and make them feel quite rushed to get to the next number. 30 minutes in and were already on song 6-7 which is more than a lot of musicals have in the whole 2 hour runtime. It also does just throw us in very quickly right from the start and doesn't give us much backstory on Tracy though it still works well thanks to the eye popping musical numbers, great dancing, and just infectious fun that raidates from this entire film. I'm able to look past the problems with the nonmusical scenes not given as much time to develop because of how fun, charming, and good natured this is. It does a solid job of integrating Tracy's story with the integration of Baltimore ina fun clever way that had me bopping my head the entire time. Anyone who is a big fan of musicals, any actors in this, or the director will like this a lot. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
