This is one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of all time. I was 4 years old when I stumbled across this movie. I still know all of the songs and choreography by heart. 100% a must watch, especially if you have kids!!!

It's okay enough for kids to enjoy, but looking back at this movie and watching it again gave me a plethora of memories I don't really want to remember.

All I could want from a movie. A standing ovation for the soul. The singing, the dancing, don't even get me started on the standing, the ovation. I was sitting the entire time but I felt like I was standing. Truly a cinematic marvel. I can't believe this is the first avengers movie and no one knows about it.

Parents and anyone beyond adolescence will find it an intolerable attempt to cash in by imitating films they've seen before.

Entertainment Weekly

For us grinchy adults out there without children to sedate, the whole thing feels slightly less like a movie than like the filmed record of a mutiny at a juvie talent agency.

Rated: D-

Despite its absurdly optimistic title, Standing Ovation deserves a resounding chorus of boos, and maybe a few well-aimed tomatoes.

The cast is energetic but the talent is amateurish and the script is dead on arrival.
