family wanted to see it so I went. After all, I like music, I like movies, and I'd seen the promo a few times, so why not.

And I thought it was pretty awful, almost laughably over the top.

The promo made the point that actors could emote if they sang the songs in real time. And boy oh boy did the actors get to emote!

I think probably if you have listened to the music for years and love it, you'd probably like it fine. A friend of mine said how she was moved to tears.

I will say that for a long movie, I did not find it slow or plodding. Just way overdone to the point of self-parody.
