Don't know why the fudge i thought this would even be a good movie.

Disney really? Adult content etc etc. Singing all the way through was annoying.

Ended up falling asleep half way through.

-5 stars don't recommend. If you have...sorry lol.

Thanks for the heads-up,I had added this to my watch list,didn't realise there was singing.

There is only one movie I watch that can have singing in it and that's The Blues Brothers (1980).

What "adult content" was in the movie? Was there nudity or cursing?

lol. Seriously? That's not adult content but cruel and unusual punishment!

It was originally a Broadway musical by Stephen Sondheim, so the singing is central to the story. If anything, the movie toned down the "adult content" from the original show.

And by "adult content", this is by Disney standards. There's definitely some situations that the "chillins" will not quite grasp.

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

This reminds me of that time when I got dragged to see "Evita". Not only was every word spoken in the film sung but it also starred Madonna. I felt like I was in a jail cell for two hours.

I started it thinking "Oh this is probably some fantasy movie"

15 minutes in they were still singing, that's not my thing. So I stopped it. Probably should have read up on it.

Wife dragged me to it.

I left the theater 1/3 way into it and went next door to The Hobbit Battle of the 5 Armies even when I had already seen it twice.

Singing movies annoys me so much now.

Even an animated singing movie like Frozen that I took my kids to see drove me nuts.

I kept looking at my watch hoping for it to end soon.

I couldn't walk out being it was just me with my kids.

Musicals didn't used to annoy me.

I don't know when that began with me.

I actually even enjoyed Chicago back in the early 2000.

YES!

That one I can watch over and over and over and I must have already seen it 100 times!

I think I will go dig up the extended DVD and watch it again.

Another couple of musicals films I can re-watch again and again are Grease and The Nightmare Before Christmas and of course

There's a difference between a musical and an operetta which is what "Evita" is. In a musical not every single word is sung. I actually like movies such as Moulin Rouge and Chicago.

Hints also that the Baker's wife has a quicky with Cinderella's husband in the woods (or Rapunzel's i was dozing off about this time.)

"I was raised to be charming, not sincere." Good line.

CG2015: "Your women. I want to buy your women. The little girl,
your daughters... sell them to me. Sell me your children!"

What's that from? I certainly don't remember it in Blues Brothers.

From the Blues Brothers when they went to recruit an old band member and found him working in a fine dining French restaurant and they started harassing the other diners when the old band member refused to rejoin the band.

Found the clip on YouTube (amazing what you can find on YouTube)

The Blues Brothers film is a great example of having all of the stars in alignment and having a dynamite cast snd script that simply translated perfectly from the script pages to the screen.

They tried to make lightning strike twice with Blues Brothers 2000 and failed miserably.
