This was a good movie. I saw it at a special premiere screening for academy members only, in Burbank. The cast did a good job and so did the director. My favourite part of the movie was the soundtrack which is really, really good! I always enjoy movies where the actors actually sing the songs themselves (not just in musicals but actors in films such as Walk the Line, which is an amazing film). Music is obviously a very big part of this movie and carries it for the most part but when you consider the movie as a whole it feels a bit lacking in the story department. All of the performances are good and like I said they sing their own songs themselves and do it well. A solid effort.
