Steve D The story is mixed and the music not good enough to make it work. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Ron H Great 80's musical about the Brooklyn Sing competitions between high school classes in those days. Jessica Steen and Peter Dobson are fantastic in this. Great date movie. Definitely a must-see if you can find it in good quality. One of the best soundtracks of the 80's. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of my favorite movies as a child. Super cheesy but who cares Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review ashley h Sing is an okay film. It is about an an Italian punk who is forced to work with an innocent Jewish girl. Lorraine Bracco and Peter Dobson give good performances. The script is slow in places. Richard Baskin did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the BEST 80s musicals. If only Sony would release it on DVD. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is actually better than the sum of it's parts. The trailer and the description don't do it justice. With a killer soundtrack and a colorful cast of characters it still reels me in over 20+ years later. I wish they would release it on dvd. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
