It's tough to fight the longstanding consensus that this is the greatest movie musical of all time, but what's often lost in the praise is that this also qualifies as a great comedy. Go to Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel Nov 5

Unbelievable the level of suffering that these people went through to create the most exuberantly joyful movie ever made. Go to Full Review Chance Solem-Pfeifer Willamette Week 01/28/2025
It’s an extravaganza of color, joy and mockery of hokey romances, but perhaps above all, you couldn’t re-create the miracle of Gene Kelly’s footwork with a billion-dollar supercomputer and a contract with the devil. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Eric J 01/30/2025 Delightful movie, made the old fashion way. No computer graphics, no explosions, no improbable stunts. Plenty of singing, dancing, and humor. Overall a very entertaining, upbeat movie. I dont think ive ever smiled so much over the course of a movie before. See more Emeka R @RT69448386 1h Singin' in the Rain was honestly a really fun movie to watch from beginning to end. Even though it’s an older musical, it still feels super energetic and entertaining because all of the performances have so much charm and personality. The songs are catchy, the dancing is really impressive, and you can tell how much effort went into every scene. The plot is pretty simple, but that actually works because the movie focuses more on being entertaining and showing off the performances. I also liked how it shows Hollywood during the transition from silent films to sound, which made it more interesting than I expected. Overall, a good movie, even if I'm not the biggest fan of musicals. See more Malka M @tealbri40 2h The energy throughout this movie was honestly beautiful to watch. I enjoyed how joyful and fun everything felt without becoming too much. The musical scenes were extremely memorable and made the movie feel timeless. See more peter 4h This film IMO is the greatest musical ever made. It is hilarious with great performances from all involved. Because this film came out right after An American in Paris it was sort of dwarfed by that wonderful film. But, IMO Singing stands the test of time. It is such a happy film and those musical numbers are amazing. See more Hayle F @RT73632069 6h Absolutely loved the film. It's fun and funny while also feeling real between the characters in a way that is rewatchable See more Juliet M. @RT04829866 1d The film explores Hollywood’s transition from silent films to sound films. Gene Kelly delivers energetic performances that make the movie charming and entertaining. Its technical skill and emotional energy continue to influence musicals today. See more Read all reviews
